Thanx for a very informative video. Thanks for your hard work to do this.
Please keep on doing these videos and don't get put-off by extremely rude idiots who hate everybody in this world.
You are great - don't forget this. :¬)

this didn't help me at all. I want to increase my primary drive

[rammses]

My HDD has 4 partitions
1.-NTFS recovery
2.-NTFS for windows use
3.-Linus Swap
4.-Ext4 for Linux use
Linus Swap and Ext4 are surrounded by a partition called EXTENDED. I can make the Ext 4 partition smaller and a new partition is created *Unalocated*

*Unalocated* partition can be used to make the Linus swap partition bigger and to make the Ext 4 partition bigger again. When I try to resize the NTFS partition I can make it smaller but not bigger (even when *unalocated* partition is available)

what can i do?

I have two partitions: one with file system ext4 and the other with file system extended. How do I merge these into one without risking losing my Mint install? Do I just delete the folder /dev/sda2 so that all the space goes back to /dev/sda 1 (where my mint install is) or will that fuck up my system?

hi good day, im using linux mint "sarah", i have a <unallocated><linux swap><ext4> can i merge them? unallocated came from my winOS, thank you very much

[rogerlepcha]

I have 3 partitions in my system running Kali Linux, Ext 4 / has 100 gb, ext /home has 800 gb. If I delete 800 gb partition will the space automatically add up to Ext 4 which has 100 gb?

Which window manager did you use for linuxmint?  I tried kde and it didn't look like that.  Thanks.

[samantrao]

I have a disk partitioning as below -



The "Partition1_NTFS" cointains my windows OS and "Partition2_EXT2" contains my Ubuntu OS. I would like to merge all scattered unallocated sectors/space into one, then create a partition on that.

Can you suggest how to merge all scattered unallocated spaces into one?
