[SOLVED] Cant use unallocated space after removing windows partitions

655321 · 2010-08-19 05:40:46

Hello all, I was dual-booting arch and Windows 7, but now I dont want windows 7, to make it dual boot I needed to create an extended partition and get all arch partitions in there (/boot, /home, and /)

Now that I dont want windows 7, I want to give all the space that was previosly occupied by windows to arch, but gparted wont let me increase the partition size no idea why.

Here is my fdisk -l :

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2048    30716279    15357116   1c  Hidden W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda3       186996600   625137344   219070372+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5       416423680   416616396       96358+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6       416616460   475205451    29294496   83  Linux
/dev/sda7       475205515   617136974    70965730   83  Linux
/dev/sda8       617137038   625137344     4000153+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

sda1 is the laptop recovery partition, in case I want to sell this laptop I should be able to get it to its factory default with this partition

I removed sda2 and sda4 as you can see, which was Windows 7 OS and DATA partitions, how can I use this space with arch?

regards

Which partition did you try to increase in gparted? If I don't remember it wrong you can only increase the partition next to the removed one.

Gparted is a great tool and it's as easy as it gets to do what you need to do. First remove the old Windows partitions then "grow" the desired partitions.

while,

I want to give my root partition about 20 Gigs more, and the rest to my home partition. My root would be sda6 and my home sda7.

So,if what you are telling me is right, I can only increase sda3?

Karol,

By grow I think you mean, the resize/move option, I have tried this and it wont let me grow to use the unallocated space

Like you have Linux partitions inside Extended, you'll need to resize Extended first.

Yeah just noticed that! thx for the tip, now the only remaining problem is the unallocated space inside the extended partition, like "while" said, I can only resize the partition next to it, and that is the /boot partition, what Im going to do is to resize the /boot partition to use all the unallocated space, then I can drag the other end of this partition to move it and finally resize the root and home partitions.

One more question, Is there any problems/drawbacks having all the arch system and mount points inside an extended/logical partitions?

IIRC there are 3 numbers: free space "before", partition size and free space "after" - you *can* move the free space around.

Wait a sec, I'm gonna boot the liveCD.

you can also move partitions instead on resizing.

no there are no drawbacks but I would have just created a primary partition. dd'ed my existing install into the new partition and then removed the extended partition and then merged the space.

Playing with partitions and ddis extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Consider yourself warned.

karol · 2010-08-19 09:10:49

When you click resize/move you can enter 3 numbers: free space preceding, new size and free space following - you can move all the free space where you need it i.e. next to the partitions you're going to resize. No need to resize /boot, just move the free space around - e.g. set free space preceding to zero.

Holy &*^%$#@ I started all partition operations, and just noticed I left my laptop charger at work! Hope 5 hours will be enough to get all this done (gparted is working as I type)

I have worked with partitions before but never have had this kind of setup, I do know what im doing and also I case I dont, I have a backup

This is one reason I read the forums: thrilling amusement :-)

5hrs should be enough, but maybe you can drive to work and back or borrow a charger from your neighbors, just in case.

655321 · 2010-08-19 09:26:38

I just found 1 charger (of my external hard drive) that fits into the laptop, but Im scared that it should fry my battery. Is it safe to connect a charger different from the supplied one?

Borrowing a charger isnt an option cause its 4am here lol.

Battery is at 66%, 2 of 5 operations done, I guess the longest part would be moving /home (about 27gigs), root needs to move about 6.7 gigs of data.

I think time will be enough, but Im worried

No. I wouldn't risk my laptop being fried.

how long do you think the battery is gonna last? GParted shouldn't take more than an hour -- as long as you are not moving data around. Simple extensions of partitions or resizing hardly takes a few minutes.

I'm not sure if it's safe, so I wouldn't do it if I were you. You can pray to Murphy to let the partitioning finish before the battery runs out but I heard he was in a bad mood today ;P

Who knows, I'm often wide awake at 4 am - I love the sunrise :-D

655321 · 2010-08-19 09:35:13

I edited my last post with some info about battery and data to move, I will be coming back with the battery status, just for the forums amusement lol.

Hope this ends good

-Battery: BAT0-
State : discharging (load: 19110 mW)
Capacity : 52738 mWh / 81200 mWh (64.95%)
Battery Technology : rechargeable (LIon)
Model Number : UL50-58

Draining very slow, so far so good

Eh eh, that was funny . I hope your battery lasts long enough.

+1 for not using the external hard disk charger: I think you'd at least burn the charger, because it probably does 10W and your laptop 20W... Though I'm not sure, not an electrician I am.

Its about to finish and there is some power left:

-Battery: BAT0-
State : discharging (load: 16506 mW)
Capacity : 24416 mWh / 81200 mWh (30.07%)
Battery Technology : rechargeable (LIon)
Model Number : UL50-58

However, my battery has totally drained like 15 min ago, I am using emergency power sources, I really need some sleep, soooo tired, 5:00 am here.

I checked both chargers specs, Both had same input Voltage but different DC output, So pretty much I would have fried my battery

If anyone is interested, here is the complete output of all the operations performed:

I am an electrician. There are so many variables with chargers. Even if the plug fits the following must always be correct

Output voltage of charger must be the same as input voltage needed by laptop
The output voltage type must be the same as the voltage type required by the laptop. ie AC or DC
If DC the polarity of the charger must match the polarity needed by the laptop
The charger must be able to supply the current needed by the laptop. Measured in mA (milliamps)

The chances of everthing being right are slim. If you don't know don't plug it in!

That's the takeaway for me :-)
Did you notice the last line rhymes?

I didn't notice, but that could be a little phrase when someone asks me in the future
