So I resized the partition next to the one where I have ubuntu installed. Using Easeus Partition Master I made it smaller so there was unallocated space between it and the Ubuntu partition with the intention of using it to install programs. When Partition Master tried to reboot all that happened was a black screen appeared with the message ''Grub error, unknown file system...
Ihave ubuntu 11.10 on 1 TB hard drive /home is seperate 890 GB partition swap is 8GB and boot is 9 GB now afrter shrinking /home and moving swap I have unallocated 23 GB between / boot and swap.

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
Suppose I have some drive with a single partition. For some reason I decide to repartition it, using fdisk. I create multiple partitions, then write the partition table, then exit fdisk.
I installed F16 on a dual boot with W7. When I installed it, I shrunk my W7 partition down 100gb and installed F16 on that free space, giving 50gb to root, 40gb to home, and 10gb to the swap partition. Now, I just want to get rid of Windows.
The GParted application is the GNOME partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions.
A disk device can be subdivided into one or more partitions. The gparted application enables you to change the partition organization on a disk device while preserving the contents of the partition.
I'm trying to set up an 8GB USB drive a persistent live boot.
The tutorial I am using told me to use fdisk and create two partitions. The first partition is supposed to be just large enough to hold the ISO image I'm using, which in this case is 2.9GB.
Yesterday, after having resized and moved some of my partitions I have successfully enlarged my Ubuntu partition but in the morning I wanted to launch the computer and ... one thing I get is the "blinking beacon".
I have tried booting into Ubuntu 12.04 USB and it worked, the disk is working - I can access it's files but I cannot boot into it.
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
