How do I add the unallocated space to my ubuntu installation after deleting the Windows XP Partition?
I just deleted the Windows XP partition in the Ubuntu Live CD because I don't use windows xp anymore, now I have this
I want to add the remaining space to my ubuntu installation and make ubuntu boot on startup.
If I can see your partition map correctly, first you have to resize your extended partion to include the free space.
After that you can extend /dev/sda5.
You can only do this when Linux on /dev/sda5 is not active. So, you have to do this from another running operating system. A possible solution is to use a Linux Live CD, such as Ubuntu or Knoppix. Summarized
- Download a Linux Live CD
- Burn it to CD or write it to a USB memory key
- Boot Linux Live from CD or USB
- Start gparted from Linux Live
- Resize your extended partition
- Resize your Linux partition /dev/sda5
- Reboot
