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.

  1. boot livecd or liveusb drive in "try me" mode.
  2. load gparted (should installed default, can apt-get if it's not)
  3. resize partitions (right click, click resize, follow instructions).
  4. click apply , sit while job.
  5. reboot, taking out usb stick or cd when tells to.
