Re: Unallocate Partitions: want to merge with existing ones: Gparted
Sorry, but basically you can't "merge" partitions this way.
The first unallocated space is only 1MB -- and you can't do anything with that due to rounding.
The second unallocated space is to the "right" of your swap partition. You can't "merge" it with any other partition because space has to be adjacent to a partition.
If you wanted to add this space to sda5, you would have to do the following:
1) Boot from a partitioning tool --Gparted LiveCD can do this, as can the Ubuntu installer
2) Move the swap partition to the right
3) Move the NTFS partition to the right
4) Expand the Ext4 partition to take up the new unallocated space
Be advised that this could easily take HOURS to do, and with any partitioning exercise, there is always the risk of losing data. So, you should back up the stuff in the NTFS partition before you attempt to move it.
Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
