I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 besides Windows 7 with initial space allocated as 18.2 GB. Now I get a warning to increase the disk space and I wanted to increase the disk space for Ubuntu. My total hard disk space is 320 GB and as seen from other posts, when I execute the following command in the terminal :

sudo fdisk -l

I receive the following response

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xcfc64c27

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda3       596467712   625139711    14336000    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

I ran df command and got he below response :

xxx@ubuntu:~$ df
Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on

It seems like installed in /dev/loop0 but not showing up in Gparted.

Please help me increase the disk space for Ubuntu 13.04. Note : I coudn't see any GParted disk partitioner to make use of as observed in other threads.

You installed ubuntu through wubi. For resizing the space allocated for ubuntu installed through wubi,you must refer this.

And also refer to this to know how much of space did wubi takes from the HDD.

You're using Wubi, that's why a linux filesystem is not apparent.

There are a couple of methods for resizing Wubi.

This has to be run from within a live environment.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeWubiDisk

You can also use a slightly different method

The first method here can be used from within the wubi environment

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk#Automated_resize

The second method here needs to run from a live environment

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk#Manual_resize

Also see here How do I give Ubuntu more space (when installed inside Windows 7 (via wubi))?
