Re: How can I GROW a linux partition?
You have to 1st expand the extended partition into the unallocated space produced by shrinking the win partition. You then will have to boot into a live cd - you can't do anything with a mounted partition. From the live cd just expand sda5 to fill the unallocated space in the extended partition. It will take some time for the operation to complete because all of the data on sda5 will have to be moved. Good luck.
