    To expand the NTFS partition, the free space must follow it. Right now it is in the middle of your extended partition. To fix this, you will need to move the ext4 partition to the right, then resize the start of the extended partition to the right, then you can expand the NTFS partition.

    Note that moving partitions takes a very, very long time, and if something goes wrong ( power goes out ), you will trash your data, so make a backup first.
