installation - How to resize Ubuntu partition with unallocated space w/GParted & LiveCD

I currently have one hard drive with 3 partitions and 2 partitions of unallocated space. I am dual booting Windows 7 (1 partition) and another partition for Ubuntu 12.04.


I'm using Gparted and Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD with all drives unmounted, this is what i'm seeing:



  1. /dev/sda1. NTFS. 325gb, 292gb used. Boot flag. = WINDOWS 7

  2. (extended) /dev/sda2. EXTENDED. 92.95gb. lba flag.


    2A. (extended) /dev/sda5. EXT4. 89gb. = UBUNTU
    2B. (under extended) unallocated. 3.82gb


  3. unallocated. 39.75gb = ???

  4. /dev/sda4. NTFS. Respawn Recovery. 7.79gb. 4.27gb used.

  5. unallocated. 3.02mb.


I CAN resize sda4 to include the 40gb of unallocated space but obviously I dont see the point in doing that to a recovery partition.
I CAN resize sda5 to include the unallocated space of 3.82gb but would this help?


Help?
