Ubuntu :: Using Unallocated Space On HD / Adding To Other Partition?

Oct 13, 2010

I need a little help regaining some unallocated space on my Hard Drive. I have a 52 Gib unallocated partition and I want to add it to /dev/sda4 which only has 19.73 Gib. (See attachment of my partition table). I ended up with this free space because I deleted a partition that contained another OS I no longer use. I don't know if I can use a move/resize or copy paste. I think the copy paste only copies the stored data not the space. What I want to do is take the unallocated space and add it to the sda4 partition.

Ubuntu :: Adding Unallocated Space To Root Partition?

Jan 13, 2011

I am having an issue adding unallocated space to my root partition. Based on other threads I figured out that the unallocated space needs to be right next to the partition that one wants to extend. In my case, I would like to extend 'ext3' in attached screenshot of gparted. I carved out a 1002MB space and moved this unallocated space right under the ext3 partition (/dev/sda3). How do I add this unallocated space to /dev/sda3 please? When I run 'gparted' on bootup (using linux running on a usb stick), I don't get the option to increase the size of /dev/sda3. Basically the unallocated space is not being 'seen' when I try to resize /dev/sda3.

$df -l
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 3844152 2935868 713008 81% /
none 502400 260 502140 1% /dev
none 508008 248 507760 1% /dev/shm

Ubuntu :: Add Unallocated Space To Extended Partitions ?

Nov 20, 2010

I have the following disk partitions from the left side of partition table as of now:
NTFS - Primary windows vista
Extended - 3 Nos. all NTFS - middle one contains data
Unallocated space
NTFS - Primary
NTFS - Primary HP Recovery

My intention is to add unallocated space to the extended partition. Will I be able to use Gparted to do it?

Or can I install Ubuntu in one of the extended partitions and make this unallocated partition the home partition for Ubuntu. I am not able to add new partition in this unallocated space as disk manager in vista throws up an error no free disk space to complete the operation. I read in some forum that OEM installations allow only 3 primary partitions and one extended or 4 primary ones. Is it true for OEM's only or its a universal rule?

General :: Merge LVM Partition With Unallocated Space?

May 25, 2010

I have a linux hard drive with three areas:

/dev/hda1 - ext3 boot partition (20 MB)
/dev/hda2 - lvm2 main partition (6 GB)
unpartitioned space - 12 GB

I would like to merge the unpartitioned space into the lvm2 partition known as /dev/hda2. I tried using GParted, but it does not support lvm2. What commands or utilities could I use to add the unpartitioned space to hda2 without losing my existing data?

Ubuntu :: When Looked At Partition Table, The Space Where The Partition Used To Be Is Now Unallocated Space?

Jul 18, 2011

I originally had an Ubuntu partition on my hard drive which occupied about half of it. I installed Windows 7 in the remaining unallocated space and I was planning on doing a grub update from a live cd afterwards. BUT when I looked at my partition table, the space where the ubuntu partition used to be is now unallocated space!

General :: Move Unallocated Space From Primary To Ext Partition

Mar 27, 2011

The good news is I was able to shrink one of my partitions to create some unallocated space. The bad news is the unallocated space is on my primary partition, so gparted is not allowing me to use that space to create another partition since I already have two primaries and an extended. Any tricks to do that?

Ubuntu :: After Formated Windows Partition Using GParted - Unallocated And Moved Under Extended Partitions

Oct 18, 2010

After I formated my windows partition using GParted it became Unallocated and moved under Extended partitions. I can't create the unallocated partition as primary one, or drag it out of the extended ones. I tried GParted live CD also, but nothing worked.

Ubuntu :: How To Add Unallocated Space To Partition

Oct 3, 2010

I have 2 partitions:
- Partition 1 = xp and ubuntu
- Partition 2 = private matters (movies, pictures, etc.)

I successfully obtained 5 gb of unallocated space from xp I would like to add to my partition 2.

but inside gparted I can't partition 2 to increase, even though I have not mounted XP partition or 2 - I can only make 2 partition smaller and not bigger.

Is it because my swap partition is in the way or? I can not figure it out

Here is a picture showing my partitions: http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3...reenshotcx.png

Ubuntu :: Extending Partition Into Unallocated Space

Aug 31, 2010

i would like to extend my main file system into the unallocated space that i have on my hard drive, the unallocated space is most of it, as it used to be a partition but was deleted, do i have to do this with a boot up disk because i think that it can only be done on an unmounted partition, or is there a way to do this while linux is running in the main partition.

Ubuntu :: Merge Partition With Unallocated Space?

Apr 27, 2011

My PC has two OS's - Windows XP and Ubuntu - in a separate partition. There is some unallocated disk space between Windows and Ubuntu. I tried unsuccessfully to merge them together as one larger partition using Gparted in Ubuntu or another software in Windows. I thank you in advance for anyone who advises me hot to do it.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Resize Windows Partition (Unallocated Space)

Mar 21, 2010

Recently I decided to give Ubuntu 10.04 a try and I didn't like it + some drivers were really buggy so I deleted the partition. I can't boot. I covered the process of how I fixed it on my blog here. Anyhow, now I'd like to expand my windows partition as there's 175gb of unallocated space. The problem is gparted won't let me expand it (trying this via liveCD). I've tried mounting/unmounting it's no luck.

Ubuntu :: Partition/Unallocated Space W/ 4 Primary Partitions?

May 3, 2010

I'd be very grateful if some charitable person could help with a problem. I have a portion of unallocated space, 15GB, which is situated to the left of all my other partitions (according to GParted). Unfortunately I already have 4 primary partitions. Although I am willing to delete my last partition, I still amn't sure how I could go about reclaiming the 2 portions of unallocated space under one new partition

I am trying to partition my unallocated part of the disc in my laptop in ubuntu 10.04 using Gparted.Here is a screenshot of my disk and its partitions:

when i select the unallocated space i can ONLY create a PRIMARY partition..the LOGICAL and EXTENDED ones are grayed out.. i want to partition this unallocated space in two or three parts, and it seems i only have one (out of the four) primary partitions left.. so i cannot create the partitions i want!

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Unallocated Space Before Boot Partition

Jun 20, 2010

I had to reinstall my Ubuntu 10.04 system after some trouble trying to remove a FAT32 partition. I reinstalled using the Live Ubuntu CD (not Ubuntu Studio CD) and seems to work fine. I want to know if its normal to have an unallocated space before the boot partition? I installed GRUB2 in the sdb1, not in main sdb. Ubuntu boots fine, but I was wondering if the unallocated space affects it being detected properly by other systems? When I boot OS X I get an error that the HD is not formatted. Previously I was not getting the error. OS X & Ubuntu are each on a separate SATA HD and Windows XP is on a third IDE HD.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Expand EXT4 Partition With Unallocated Space

Nov 20, 2010

I clean installed Ubuntu 10.10 by shrinking my Windows 7 partition slightly. Now that I want to expand my Linux partition, I shrunk my Win 7 partition from Windows OS. From Ubuntu, the partition manager shows /dev/sda1 contains the Win 7 and unallocated partition. /dev/sda2 contains the Linux and swap partitions. I can't seem to expand my Linux partition (ext4) in sda2 with the unallocated space in sda1. I also can't shift the unallocated space in sda1 to sda2. Any idea how to expand my main Linux partition with the unallocated space?

Debian :: Assign Unallocated Space To Existing Partition

Sep 15, 2009

I have a problem that Google didn't give me a workable solution so I'm posting my question here, hoping that someone has an idea.On a virtual server (VMWare) running Debian 5 I have a disk of 15Gb.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I've been playing around with GParted but unsuccessfully. The other option is to 'move' the whole server to a new (to create) virtual server that uses LVM. Any ideas?

Hardware :: Unable To Create Partition In Unallocated Space

Jul 5, 2011

I am trying to install Elementary OS on my laptop! When the installer gets to partitioning part, I find about 90 GB of unallocated space on my hard disk. When I try to create a partition in this space, the partitioner very humbly informs me that it is not possible to create more than 4 Primary partitions. Now my partitioning scheme (rather jumbled up!) is attached herewith.

/dev/sda2 is extended partition with sda5 to sda10.
/dev/sda3 was a fat partition that I used to store my data (I deleted it)
/dev/sda4 is another primary partition.
Windows Vista sits on sda1
Ubuntu sits on sda5, sda6 and sda7 and
Sabayon sits on sda9, sda10 and sda4. Now I have three unallocated disjointed spaces (approx. 5GB, 20GB and 92GB)I had selected the third unallocated space (92GB) to create a new partition for my fresh Elementary OS install but I am faced with the 4 Primary Partitions limit.My partition table is a total mess! Can anyone suggest a way out ?

General :: Ubuntu - Adding Space To A Root Partition

Aug 2, 2010

I have some contiguous free space available next to where my root partition resides on the hard drive. I was thinking of resizing the root partition with gparted to take up this space, but it's kind of risky. I was wondering if there is another way to include this partition into my Linux partition without resizing? Like somehow link it in so that / will have more free space?

OpenSUSE Install :: Supplementing/resizing Root Partition With Unallocated Space

Mar 13, 2011

I installed 11.4 (64 bit) and all went amazingly smooth. I created three logical partitions (boot, swap and home in this order) and an extended partition with root and backup. Just prior to the installation, my external backup drive went belly up so I created a 40 gig partition to "fill in" the backup duties until I purchased a new one. I got it and set it up and then deleted the 40 gig backup partition thinking I would just add the now unallocated space to the root partition but alas it was not meant to be. I can't resize the root partition while it's mounted and I can't unmount it and have a working system. The 40 gigs of space is sitting right next to root (no having to jump or resize other partitions to combine the two). Is there a way to do this or did I just waste 40 gigs worth of real estate.

Hardware :: Add Unallocated Space From One Drive To An Lvm2 Partition Of Another Drive

Jan 7, 2011

I have about 128 GiB of unallocated space on /dev/sdb (which is a physical hard drive). I want to take 60 GiB of this space and add it to an lvm2 partition of /dev/sda.

#1. Is there a way to have a partition span two drives? If so, please explain.

#2. LVM2 IS NOT SUPPORTED BY GPARTED. DON'T ASK.

#3. If the answer to question 1 is yes, is is easy (or possible) to do it to an lvm2 partition?

Fedora :: Partitioning Task - Moving Unallocated From Extended

Jan 19, 2010

I would like to ask you for an opinion. These are my current partitions:

/dev/sda1 ext3 200MB /boot
/dev/sda2 ext4 39.06GB /
/dev/sda3 swap 3.91GB
unallocated 2.25MB
/dev/sda4 extended /home
--------> unallocated 24.41GB
--------> /dev/sda5 ext4 165,30GB

I need to create a NTFS partition. However Windows installer doesn't see 'unallocated' under /dev/sda4. I do not want to touch /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda5. I also need swap. Is there any chance I can move 'unallocated' under /dev/sda4 from extended and recreate it as a primary partition?

General :: Unallocated Space In Gparted?

May 21, 2010

Here's the problem (I'll give you a basic timeline of whats happened)

1) Installed Windows 7

2) Installed Ubuntu 10.4

3) Installed Linux Mint 9 Beta

4) Updated Linux Mint 9 Beta to RC and no longer had a need for Ubuntu 10.4

5) Booted into live cd and using Gparted, erased Ubuntu 10.4

6) Re-installed Grub

7) ATTEMPTED to resize Linux Mint 9 partition to use newly unallocated space

But whenever I try to regain that space it will only let it grow this much.Hopefully you can see that (took it with my iPhone 3gs, 3mp camera.)

Ubuntu :: Adding More Space To Partition

Feb 10, 2010

When I first decided I wanted to start using Ubuntu, I was using Windows Vista. I created a separate partition by shrinking a portion of my current windows partitions to 60g of free space. I then booting my computer with the Ubuntu live CD and installed it under that 60g of free space. (I dual boot now and have been happy ever since). I guess my question is if I boot back into windows and format the 60g partition, can I shrink more of my windows partition and allocate more of it to the 60g part? I'm only asking this since I would like more space when the newer Ubuntu version comes out. I wasn't sure if by doing this GRUB will get deleted as well and mess up my computer.
