I am using Ubuntu 12.10 which is on a dual boot with Windows 7. I initially had 30 GB for Ubuntu ,but I decided I need more , now I booted Ubuntu from its Live CD ,used GParted , shrunk Windows partition by 50 GB ,so I got 50GB-unallocated space. Now I want to merge that with Ubuntu's partition (extended) . But I keep getting an "overlapping partition" error , and I am not able too identify where the overlapping is happening. Can anyone please help me out here ? /dev/sda4 is where my Ubuntu's 30GB extended partition is (which contains /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6) and /dev/sda3 is my Windows 7's partition. I have 50GB of Unallocated space between /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4
