Posted April 8, 2016 I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu and windows, i have ubuntu installed and my hd has one big partition with 947 gb a swap one with 15gb and another one with 516 for some reason and the guide says i need to allocate space, i tried using gparted and no ''create new'' option showed up, i know i'm doing the hard way ubuntu to windows. Any helpful guides are most appreciated i looked hours trying to find something similar to my case but nothing really worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 8, 2016 Perhaps back up and unallocate it with minitools partition wizard before doing it the hard way . _/ V\ / / / << | ,/ ] ,/ ] ,/ | / \ \ / / | | | ______| __/_/| | /_______\______}\__} Spoiler [i7-7700k@5Ghz | MSI Z270 M7 | 16GB 3000 GEIL EVOX | STRIX ROG 1060 OC 6G | EVGA G2 650W | ROSEWILL B2 SPIRIT | SANDISK 256GB M2 | 4x 1TB Seagate Barracudas RAID 10 ] [i3-4360 | mini-itx potato | 4gb DDR3-1600 | 8tb wd red | 250gb seagate| Debian 9 ] [Dell Inspiron 15 5567] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 8, 2016 Mind giving us a link to this guide? Also if the HDD is the drive currently holding Windows it won't let you, since it is in use. And you can't create a new partition since you filled everything up, you first need to shrink it in order to make a new partition. CPU: Intel i5-3470 GPU: MSI GTX 780 OS: GNU/Linux.

Posted April 10, 2016 Use the Ubuntu installer to resize the partition, or just use gparted OS which can be downloaded here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ Keep in mind that Windows would replace your Linux bootloader, you need to reinstall GRUB (or whatever bootloader you're using) to be able to use your Linux again.
