I have Linux Mint 14 installed as my only OS. I have one extended partition containing /swap, / and /home, and I have some unallocated space on my drive.
I'm guessing that Mint decided to put this all on an extended partition instead of three primary partitions.
So I want to build Linux From Scratch using some of my unallocated space.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 in an VMware ESX environment, and I need to add disk space to the primary / partition. I added the disk space in ESX, and and the Ubuntu VM sees it as unallocated space. When I the live gparted, it sees the new space as well. However, in gparted it only shows the ext4 partition and the swap, but no extended partition.
Hi,
After finishing a full reinstall where I changed the partioning on my hard drive, I find Gparted not recognising my swap space.
The partition is shown as an unknown file system and is, according to Gparted, not mounted after start-up, however when I want to format it to a linux-swap, Gparted wil fail and return that the partition is busy.
I first noticed an issue when trying to install Linux Mint 14 as a third OS alongside Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7 - I was unable to create another partition to install Mint to.
Poking around, I realised that I had reached the limit of primary partitions: (from left to right of the table) 1) a ~100 MB primary partition that I meant to use for storing Grub files but never got down to, 2) a 25 GB ext
Before I started this, I went into Windows 8 and reduced it's size to allow roughly 10GB of unallocated data. I want to increase Ubuntu 12.10's partition to fill that void.
I ran Ubuntu (Trial) from my CD as told to in multiple tutorials and ran GParted.
I have 50GB of unallocated space that I want to use on my hard drive. I want to turn it into an extended partition so that I can have two logicals contained within it (probably one 10GB and the other 40GB) but when I go to GParted and right click on the space and select "new" the Extended partition option is greyed out and I can not make anything but a primary partition.

I have a live usb created from linuxliveusb. I have win 7 installed and have 60 gb of unallocated space. I would like to install my ubuntu (12.04) in a primary partition (since someone instructed me to install my linux in a primary partition, but need your views on this). I have only one primary partition and have win7 installed on it.
Hello,
I have a partition that I resized using gparted from my ubuntu and after that I installed windows 7 on that.
partition 1: ubuntu
partition 2: windows
partition 3: unallocated
-->
partition 1: ubuntu
partition 2: windows (bigger)
Now theres a bit of freespace left and I would like to resize my windows 7 partition to use that free space.
If I partition it from ubuntu with gparted, t
