  • How to resize partitions?

    4 answers



When I installed Ubuntu dual boot on my windows machine, I just did a 10 GB partition for installing the dual boot. But later I realized that I need much more than just 10 GB. Is it possible to just extend the disc space without uninstalling and reinstalling Ubuntu?

    Sure, it depends on your hard drive and your partitions. The best for you would be to use gparted and post a screenshot of your partitions to see if it's possible

Let's assume you've got a swap partition between windows' and ubuntu's one (something like EFI/boot manager - Windows - Swap - Ubuntu) as it is the trickiest scenario.



  • First, boot on Windoze and defrag you hard drive (Start menu > search for "defragment" and do "Defragment drive" after selecting your windows partition).


  • Then, resize the Windows partition (search for "disk management" and right-click on your windows partition, select “Shrink Volume” from the menu and free the space you want to add to your ubuntu.


  • Next, boot via a live-CD or live-USB (see Create a bootable USB stick on Windows | Ubuntu tutorials)

  • Launch GParted, you should know have this kind of configuration : EFI - Windows - Free space - Swap - Ubuntu

  • Right now, all you have to do is swipe the swap space to the left (right click, resize/move and click-n-drag it to the left) and expand the ubuntu's one (right click, resize move, expand via clic and drag).

  • Press on apply and agree to the warning.

I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
