Here is my saved gparted log: http://pastebin.com/DDd0qH4N.

This seems to be the important part of the log:

partition length of 5860530176 sectors exceeds the
msdos-partition-table-imposed maximum of 4294967295

Here is a screenshot of the unmounted drive:

You might have to boot into a Live CD/USB and do it from there.

In a Live CD/USB session, go to gparted and choose the drive you want to edit. It will give you a warning about potentially losing information (which can happen). If you choose to go ahead, it will take some time to resize, depending on the size of the drive.

The procedure is pretty straight forward. Gparted kinda walks you though it.
