This is the partition break of my PC. Filesystem partition 2 (25GB) is the partition where my ubuntu20.04LTS is intalled (it is not multiple booted with any other OS). I want to allocate the 270GB free space to the filesystem partition but since it is not next to the target I cannot expand it.

Kindly assist me in this issue.

You will need a live environment to do this, as provided by the Ubuntu installation media.

  1. Backup any data you cannot afford to lose
  2. Using your Ubuntu install media boot into a live environment (Try Ubuntu not install Ubuntu)
  3. Using GParted move the small 499MB FAT partition all the way to the left, next to the NTFS partition. Apply the change. That will move the unused space next to your 25GB Ubuntu partition
  4. Using GParted resize your Ubuntu partition and apply the change.
  5. That’s it, reboot and you should have a much larger Ubuntu partition

Good luck.
