Upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04LTS - Not enough free disk space (PLS HELP A NEWBIE)

[Russ_J]

Recently moved on from XP to Ubuntu 13.10 and loving it - however a complete newbie!

Trying to upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 LTS but get the following error message

Screenshot from 2014-04-25 22:44:44.png

Ubuntu is installed on partitioned 160GB on Samsung NC10 with 2GB ram (partitions are ~72GB each, D:/ is the partition with Ubuntu on and has a good deal of space).

Looking in disk usage it appears the Ubuntu disk appears to only be 7GB

Is this the issue???

Please help me but you'll need to walk me through this as I'm learning (as I leave MS behind for ever hopefully)!!

Thanks

i think that you are correct, and that the total amount of spce, dedicated to ubuntu, is 7Gb

when i press df , for myself, i get:

in other words, the 1TB hd is totally used for ubuntu

are u able to recall the installation process of ubuntu 13.10?

[Russ_J]

I was advised to use to do it through Windows installation, the 160GB HD was always partitioned into 2 equal slices of ~72GB so I thought I'd installed onto the free 72GB D: partition

i see

normaly, one has to boot from dvd, and follow up the recommended instructions from the installer
