How to increase storage memory in my system(14.04)(installed alongside Windows 7)?

  • 772

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 alongside windows 7 by selecting 30GB approximately. Now I want to increase storage memory with out affecting both Ubuntu and Windows.

I saw this question, but I can't find solution in there.

When I do,

arul@ARUL-PC:~$ sudo fdisk -l

I got response,

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Please provide some solutions.

  1. In Windows go to the Disk Management Utility and shrink the disk.
    Then boot either a live gparted or a live Ubuntu and start gparted.
    You can then add the unallocated space to the Ubuntu partition.
