Join unallocated space with GParted

  • 772

I need to join a 96.47GB partition with 155GB partition with "GParted", without modify /dev/sda1.

How can I do it? D: See screenshot of GParted window here

  1. You move all partitions to the left. You have to do this from a live session, since you can't move the filesystem underneath your currently booted system's feet.

    So.

    • boot the Ubuntu CD
    • open gparted (the live session has it preinstalled)
    • unmount any partitions that may be mounted (indicated by the key icons), the swap partition is likely used by the live session, so this must be unmounted.
    • resize the extended partition (/dev/sda1) to cover the entire drive
    • drag and move the other two partitions to the left.

    Moving partitions like that may take a few hours.
