Adjust partition size for Windows and Linux systems

Reprinted from: http://blog.csdn.net/ritterliu/article/details/6686616

My machine is Windows XP + ubuntu10.10. I used to install Ubuntu for fun. I didn't plan to use it for a long time. I only allocated 10 Gb of space for it. After some time, I used it, I think Ubuntu is quite easy to use, and many software processes are faster than Windows. (It may be because I have used XP for too long and installed too many things ), so I tried to use Ubuntu instead of windows every day, and Android development was switched to Ubuntu. Over time, there are more and more things in Ubuntu, especially when the android SDK is updated more and more, and the Ubuntu is installed with dozens of M patches, the 10 Gb space will soon be full. What should I do? Resize the Ubuntu partition...

Go to Windows and use acronis disk ctor suite10, which is better than PQ and supports at least Vista partition adjustment. As a result, in acronis, The ext4 partition of ubuntu cannot be moved, which can be an emergency for me. When I search the Internet, we recommend using gparted, so I got another one. Http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

I have learned how to install a USB flash drive on the official website. I will not repeat it here. After the flash drive is installed, plug in the USB flash drive to start the live CD of gparted and go through the command line interface in the middle, you can select the language and graphical interface as prompted. At last, the desktop looks like a Linux system, and the icon is Debian. It is estimated that gparted was developed by them. After entering the desktop, gparted will be automatically started. After loading for a period of time, you will be able to see the partition of the hard disk. At this time, the Ubuntu partition will become movable, oh year, various types of drag, you know...

When you drag a LINUX partition, the software will remind you that the system boot may be lost because the Windows boot will be overwritten by Ubuntu when Windows is installed and then Ubuntu is installed, during the boot, you must first select Ubuntu or windows, and then select windows. During Ubuntu installation, the boot can be installed on the Ubuntu partition, you can also choose to mount the MBR on the hard disk. MBR is a small space starting with the hard disk and has nothing to do with the partition. We recommend that you bootProgramIn MBR, the boot will not be lost when the partition is adjusted, because the boot will be installed on MBR when I install Ubuntu, so ignore the warning and continue to drag... Then the application will wait for a while, so there is no need to restart the application...
