Just in case you didn't know, the program to do partition related stuff is called gparted. Usually it's located under menu system/administration/partition editor</p> <p>If you want to alter your linux partition, then you need to boot from the CD and run gparted from the CD. The graphical interface of gparted is quite ok. I believe you can manage it with no problems. However, before you do something with your HDD, be sure to backup first.</p> <p>One last thing, NEVER give label to your harddisk using gparted. Label in linux and dos/windows are totally different. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-increase-partition-size-in-ubuntu#post-25046 Sun, 18 May 2008 20:15:01 +0000 gaurang 25046@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>hie all,</p> <p>i am very new to linux os and ubuntu, i just installed it very first time and i find linux is cool..<br /> bt now i m facing a problem of disk space.<br /> i have setup dual boot ( vista / ubuntu ) , and at the time when i created partition for linux i thought , i will not keep this system for long time and also i will not install much in it so i kept partition size less. but now problem is that i just fall in love with linux so i want to keep it for ever , bt again my disk space is limiting me from installing stuffs.<br /> i want to know that how can i increase partition size of ubuntu , problem is i also have another OS (vista) and i don't want to lose any data from it too , so i guess it must be little tricky to increase size.<br /> can i resize my windows partition and then just add it to ubuntu ? if so , then what is the procedure ?<br /> please help me out .....<br /> and yah.. i m very green in ubuntu and linux so please please make it little descriptive ..... </p>
