Combine Beginning Unallocated Space with Ending Ubuntu Partition

  • 772

I couldn't find an example anywhere of what I'm trying to accomplish.

Below is what my hard drive looks like right now. I want to either:

  1. Combine the unallocated space at the beginning of the drive with my kubuntu install on sda3
  2. Or at least make the unallocated space available to use as extra storage for my kubuntu OS

Gparted image of my HDD

I'm afraid that if I resize sda3 to take up the unallocated space, it will screw up my linux mount point, resulting in frustrating problems. Perhaps I just need to reassign the mount point after resizing?

I would also settle for just being able to use that unallocated space to store documents and other files.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

  1. No, you can just do it. The partition table will still list the expanded one as Partition 3, and you will have no Partition 1. I have done this myself.
