Increasing Partition Size

[Kavkaz86]

Hello Ubuntu Members,

I'm currently running Ubuntu on dual boot. When I first installed it, I used the smallest partition because I was new with Ubuntu. Now I want to increase the partition without formatting the drive and I want to keep it on Dual boot. How could I do that?

you could try doing a dd of your root partition to back it up then boot a live cd and run fdisk on your drive. delete the partition, and reallocate more space. after that restore to the new partition.

but you might be better off just backing up your /home and config files and starting over.
