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?

Ubuntu :: How To Use Unallocated Space

Nov 26, 2010

I recently deleted my partition of Windows 7 and am now only using Ubuntu. The problem occurs when i try to resize my partition to include the now unallocated 370 GB that used to be windows. When i boot from a live cd of ubuntu 10.04 and go into GParted, I right click and hit resize and it will not let me increase the size of the existing ubuntu partition.

Ubuntu :: Unallocated Space Which Cannot Be Used

Feb 17, 2011

After installing Windows 7, and shrinking my Ubuntu 10.04 partition, I can't expand my Windows 7 Partition. I see that it is inside of "extended", but I have no idea of how to get it out, and use it to expand my Windows 7 Partition. Here is a screenshot (I'm using a live CD) Also, I want to know why Windows 7 is called Windows XP in gparted, and how to change that.

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!

Ubuntu Installation :: Saw 50 GB Of Unallocated Space

Mar 29, 2010

I'm installing a dual-boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7. Windows 7 is installed first. However, I also have some Dell proprietary stuff installed on two more primary partitions, which I can't get rid of. Meaning, I have one primary partition slot free. I shrunk my Windows 7 partition by 50GB and booted my Live CD of Ubuntu 9.04. I chose to install, and when I got to the partitioning part, I saw the 50 GB of unallocated space.

I chose to let Ubuntu install side by side, and choose what to let me boot. However, I got some error about too many primary partitions and, magically, my Windows partition got all of its space back, save for 2.5GB. Of course, I got enough errors and I didn't install Ubuntu. I rebooted back to Windows and I had to have chkdsk go through all my files. I also checked when on the Ubuntu CD and I noticed something about my hard drive configuration I have NEVER seen before. it said something about 4 or 5 gigs containing WINDOWS XP! I have never had Windows XP on this thing! What gives? Anyways, where did I go wrong, and what can I do to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu?

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 :: Unallocated Space That Cannot Use (GParted)?

Feb 3, 2011

I used to run Windows and Ubuntu side by side. I have removed Windows and only run Linux now. However, when I try to release the partitions for use with Linux, Gparted just doesn't give me the correct resize options. Have attached a file, so you can see my problem. I believe its because the /dev/sda4 drive is sandwiched between the two unallocated partitions, and I just have no option of resizing into those empty ones. I have tried formatting them, but it just won't play. Ignore the fact they have locked keys, I have been using the Live CD to boot, but this screenshot was taken from my normal login.

Ubuntu :: GParted: Unallocated Space Only?

Apr 14, 2011

I have accidentally deleted the first booting parition (Windows 7) with GParted, so then I immediately googled and found an utility testdisk which has successfully recovered the parition and it can boot and be seen from linux again. Only Exception is GParded, which sees an unallocated space on whole disk from this point!

I found this post [URL].. which looks like solution, but I can't figure he count a number of sectors 978726293. 500107862016 / 978726293 = 510.978263885 what is near to 512 (sector size), but not equal. So I don't understand the arithmetic.

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 :: 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 :: 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?

Ubuntu :: Root Parition Now Unallocated Space

Jan 16, 2011

I have a 1TB drive and divided it for a dual boot setup; win XP SP3 on one half and ubuntu on the other. Upon rebooting one day, I received the 'error no such partiiton' and found myself at the grub rescue prompt. I tried to repair grub, reinstall grub, fsck to check the filesystem but the root partition was listed as unallocated space and could not be mounted. Nothing worked; I checked the HDD for errors, etc and everything was clean. Windows also saw the parition as free space then unallocated space. The swap partition was still present and unaffected. Does anyone have any ideas or have seen this before?

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 :: Unable To Claim Unallocated Disk Space?

Feb 7, 2010

I switched my laptop from a Windows only PC to a Windows-Linux dual boot. These 2 OS's use all 4 of my primary partitions:On Windows I have a 4.4 GB restore partition which can be used to restore the PC to its initial shipping state.I also have a 28 GB primary windows partition.On Ubuntu I have a 1.8 GB swap drive and a 28 GB ext3 drive for everything else.When I configured the dual boot I intentionally left 30GB dik space unclaimed figuring that if I liked Ubuntu I'd assign it to Ubuntu otherwise I could give it to Windows.

I now know that I love Ubuntu but I'm running out of storage on my disk. I can't delete the Windows partition because I need it for a few programs that don't run on Linux. I'd like to just expand the ext3 partition to take the 30GB that are currently unclaimed.However, I don't see an easy way to do this. When I go to create a partition GParted tells me that I can't have more than 4 primary partitions on a drive, that I need an extended partition.Unfortunately, an extended partition is also a primary partition so I have to delete an existing partition to get this to work. So my question is: Isn't there some way that I can just extend the Ubuntu partition to take advantage of the 30GB unallocated space?

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

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 :: 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
