[Solved] Gparted can't detect my partition

Hi,
I want to resize my linux partition, but since i installed arch from the first time, gparted can't detect any of my partition

This is my cfdisk /dev/sda

Is it because i installed Grub in wrong partition? because i forgot the partition where i installed grub

Well that is pretty odd... but you can always manually resize your partitions using cfdisk and resize2fs. Perhaps someone else will be able to explain this for you though. I dont think it would be related to grub.

Okay, thanks, i'll try resize it using cfdisk or resize2fs.

Maybe because grub problem, because i have read other thread about this and said Grub should be installed in /dev/sda not in /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. Is it true?

Solved!
I still don't know why my partition table can't be read in Gparted after i installed arch.
But, I fix/recover my partition table with testdisk. After that, i recreate and resize my partition with gparted.
