Guys i am new to linux and all that stuff. I installed ubuntu alongside windows 8.1 a few days ago and i am not happy with the hard disk partition so i installed gparted, i want to add the unallocated part to sda5. Is there anyway i can do it without shutting down my computer?
I was going to add a picture for more info but apparently my rep isn't high enough :) But here some info from gparted:
- Partition ......... File System ....... Mount Point ........... Label ................... Size ............ Flags
- /dev/sda1 ........ ntfs .............................. * ............. System Reserved ..... 350.00 MiB ...... boot
- /dev/sda2 ........ ntfs ...............................* .......................... * ................... 81.93 GiB ............ *
- unallocated ..... unallocated ..................* .......................... * ................... 18.54 GiB ............ *
- /dev/sda3 ........ extended ......................* .......................... * ................... 18.42 GiB ............ *
- /dev/sda5 ........ ext4 ....................... / .......................... * ................... 14.51 GiB ............ *
- /dev/sda6 ........ linux-swap ............* .......................... * ..................... 3.91 GiB ............. *
i used (*) for empty
And if it's important there was a key symbol next to sda 3-5-6
Boot from Ubuntu LiveUSB. Choose "Try Ubuntu" and start gparted.
Run in terminal
sudo swapoff -aResize
sda3partition left.Resize
sda5partition left.Run in terminal
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt
sudo grub-install /dev/sdaReboot.
