This is a question about how to use the program. Ok, just to reiterate; I had tried to install Ubuntu on my computer from a disk, and have a dual-boot setup along side Windows 7. To make a long story short, the install crashed after it had partitioned my HD. It won''t let me go into Ubuntu because it froze up before it finished installing. I have a 750 GB HD, and it partitioned it itself during the install. So now I only have 300+ GBs on each partition. My question is, When I load up gparted from a disk, it shows the two partitions of Windows 7 and Ubuntu. How do I get rid of the unwanted partition and get all my 300+ GBs worth of space back on my primary OS. I tried deleting the unwanted partion, and it says that I have 313 GBs of unallocated space, but it won't let me do anything with it. How do I get my original 600+ GBs back? |

You can do it the Windows way. But the Linux way is more fun. Boot up to the CD, and start Terminal. Run swapon -s, and remember the partition. Then, run swapoff /dev/partition. Go into GParted, delete the Linux partitions, and expand the NTFS one to full disk. Then, reinstall Ubuntu. |

You need to try expanding (not sure if that's the word they use in GParted) the Windows parition to use the unallocated space. If you cannot do this then try booting into Windows go to: Computer > Right Click > Manage > Disk Management > Right Click the Windows partition (C:) > Expand. Although you my not be able to expand the partition you would be able to delete the Ubuntu partition. |
