I just made 120 GB of unallocated space from my Windows 8 partition to put into my already existing Ubuntu home (sda7) partition.
The problem is when I try to create new partition from unallocated it says
It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions
All I want to do is put that free space into my Ubuntu (to sda7).
sda2 - Windows 8 drive C
sda3 - Windows 8 drive D
Edit: So I run "Try Ubuntu", unmounted all partitions, and resized /dev/sda4
so unallocated space is not below sda4. But when I try to resize /dev/sda7
(which I want) it only allows me to resize for 7Gb or so, not all 120Gb I need.
To put that 120 GB free space into Ubuntu ( /dev/sda7
) partition,follow the below steps.
First you had to boot Ubuntu live disk.
Click on "try ubuntu" option on startup and then open gparted from Dash.Make sure that all your partitions are unmounted.
Right-click on the
/dev/sda4
partition and then choose Resize/Move option to increase its size with the 120 GB unallocated space by dragging the left arrow to the extreme left.After resizing,apply the changes.Now your 120 GB unallocated space will comes inside extended partition and just below to the
/dev/sda7
partition.Right-click on the
/dev/sda7
partition and select Resize/Move option,now you can be able to add 120 GB unallocated space to your ext4 partition by dragging the right arrow to the extreme right.
