What a great guide, thanks! Helped me fix my dad’s old laptop which had run out of space on C drive by moving the restore partition. For anyone else with ancient equipment, Rufus version 3.22 is the latest that supports Windows 7
Thank you so much for this. I would have been lost without this information. Almost bought a new laptop but was able to move a large unallocated portion around so I can finally use it. Much appreciated!!
Thanks for making this video. Most people with this problem will be told to just delete the recovery partition, if that's the most common reason they need to do this. At 6:45 in the version of GParted I have, you can actually just click the green bar which represents the recovery partition and drag it all the way to the right I'm not sure if you're using a HDD, the optimal partition alignment on modern drives confuses me. I just set mine to MiB and hopefully that'll be better with my SSD.
Thanks man, you really helped me, spent whole day searching for the solution and none of them really worked and your solution worked like a charm, finally I can sleep now😂
I would have moved the 522MiB Partition #4 to before the 24.45GiB Partition #3. That way all hidden, special, smaller partitions are at the beginning in one group and all larger friendly data partitions are together at the end of the drive. Doesn't matter for speed or anything but you'd be set up better in the future in case you need to go through all of this again getting an even larger drive. The next larger drive's unallocated space will immediately be adjacent to the friendly partition you'd want to extend to!
Tried other methods but windows prevented me from merging any partition in. I initally followed the step but still came to the same conclusion. I went back to Gparted again and deleted the reserved spaces that prevented me from partitioning the drives, rebooted and now all the partitions have been merged. Thank you so much for your help.
Do you have nvidia graphics card by any chance ? Apparently some nvidia cards have issue starting X Desktop causing it to get stuck at that step. When booting into gparted live, select "Other modes of GParted Live" and choose "GParted Live (Safe graphics setting, vga-normal)". It worked for me.
I find much friendlier Rescuezila since not only that includes GParted but more GUI wise all along not needing of chosing any other setting than required like in the GParted itself.
Your video helped me a lot! I'm glad I learned something new! Learning how to use this program will save me so much trouble in the future when windows app decides it doesn't want to work and extend my ssd into unallocated space. And I was appalled at the amount of money these companies charge for their disk partition software. its much better just to learn how to use gparted. or at least learn enough to do what you need to do. Thank you!
EXCELLENT. ONLY ONE QUESTION. IN THE LAST OPERATION, WHY DID YOU USE THE WINDOWS DISK MANAGER TO EXTEND THE C PARTITION? YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT FROM GPARTED SIMPLY, OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON? IN ANY CASE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TUTORIAL
Dated reply, but it was probably to show that the empty space in the drive becomes fully controllable in Windows once it's been edited and realigned by GParted
when i select the first option there are a lot of lines in the console and nearly all of them say failed to load nvidia drivers failed to load firmware and when i hit enter on language selection and x it shows the final screen before booting but it never boots
Hi there, I have a dual boot of Linux and Windows but wish to delete Linux. Can I just do that straight from Gparted and reclaim it for Windows without doing any damage?? Thank you
Just curious how come you use Cylinder for Align to? I read the Manual and it said use MiB for modern operating system, and I thought windows 10 is pretty modern. Thank you for the great tutorial!
You need to enter the boot menu and change the boot order to be the usb first. This can be different on different devices but usually if you mash F2 when you computer is starting up you can get there
Thank you sir! Spent the last 24 hours on this problem, only your content on the web helped. Cheers!
I never leave comments, but man, you really saved me here. Thank you and keep it up🤝

Still working 31/12/2024! Amazing, thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I'm not smart enough to use this. Mine got stuck at 4:54 and would progress no further.
You should watch the whole video before proceeding anything.

@@mr.ultron7798Thank you so much my guy
@@mr.ultron7798 I know this is a very late reply but that has worked for me, thank you very much for saying ^^
@mr.ultron7798 Thank you! Just had this exact issue and your fix worked perfectly.

I used this video to do the exact thing but in VMWare W10, works fine so far
Thank you so much. That was so helpful and easy to follow, you are awesome!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just tried this, worked great. Thanks!
Thanks so much man you are a hero ❤
You're welcome!
Any other way to do this without needing a USB bootable?
Fantastic! Thank you for this!
No problem!
Thanks a lot, saved me a lot of stress

Bro you saved my life, thanks

@@henrycullen950 I did but it says boot up from different boot
Yes you want to boot up from the different boot
Same, the gparted usb option is not visible on boot menu
When I right click on my unallocated everything is greyed out except New and Properties…
Absolute lifesaver thank you
No problem!
Thank you, sooo Much!!! great video
Excellent. Thank you!
Thanks man, you're amazing
Create video on extend Kali Linux partition for more space ❤
wonderful freeware to solve the size problem after cloning to a New SSD
Everything went swimmingly except I get "gparted bug: a partition cannot end after the end of a device
Same, any fixes?
Does this work for Linux aswell (it's a headless os)
Stuck on black screen after selecting language and other stuff 😢
me too
Thanks, helped me a lot
hi, the geparted debian interface doesn't load for me, why? Thank you.
Hello, did it work?
I get a bunch of errors when I try to launch gparted, most notably nouveau unknown chipset
Have you downloaded the right version for your cpu? Try the x86-version
How did you record this? VM?
another pc ofc?
Thanks man help a lot
No problem 👍
thank you KMD Tech
Awesome. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Спасибо! Очень полезная информация. Можно ли расширить том сразу из Gparted, не используя управление дисками?
THANK YOU, this was very helpful
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you, you saved me 😂
