partitioning - How to resize partitions? - Ask Ubuntu
previously, have installed windows 7 on 320 gb laptop 3 partitions 173, 84 , 63 gb each. 63 gb partition windows installed. rest file containers.
now changed os ubuntu 12.04 lts. installed ubuntu replacing entire windows 7 on 63 gb partition. rest of partitions remain ntfs windows partition , can still access them both (the 173 , 84 gb partitions).
now want change 2 partitions of windows ubuntu format partitions plus importantly, want extend 63 gb partition more 100 gb because @ moment running out of memory. whenever try install application, using wine, complains shortage of memory.
how do extending activity before entirely format laptop again , lose important files on partitions?
(step 0:) valuable. pretty tried , tested formula things can go wrong. power cut @ wrong moment ruin day if haven't backed up.
- boot livecd or liveusb drive in "try me" mode.
- load gparted (should installed default, can apt-get if it's not)
- resize partitions (right click, click resize, follow instructions).
- click apply , sit while job.
- reboot, taking out usb stick or cd when tells to.
