I have set my PC to dual boot Linux and windows 10.

I have cut some space from my C:/ partition in windows using some program.

now i want to extent the root Linux partition with that unallocated space, I am using GParted on a live USB but I am not able to do so,

the right click on root and selecting resize not detecting the free space!

What should I do

Gparted now!

You can only resize with empty space that is to the right of the partition. You have to move partitions first until the empty space is in the right position.

Short answer...

First backup your data. Data loss or data corruption is possible.

  • move sda3 all the way left
    • be prepared that Windows may not boot, if this is your C: drive
    • use Windows install/repair disk to repair, or use boot-repair
  • click the Apply icon
  • resize the left side of sda4 all the way left
  • move sda5 all the way left
  • click the Apply icon
  • move sda6 all the way left
  • resize the right side of sda6 all the way right
  • click the Apply icon
