Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!

sdc shows Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!

I'm not sure what you are hoping to accomplish with that. You do understand that if you delete sdc3 which is your Extended partition, sdc5, 6 and 7 will also be gone because they are logical partitions within the Extended partition. You have a large Linux partition at the beginning of the drive (sdc1) then your Extended partition and a windows partition at the end of the disk. Looking at the sectors, there doesn't seem to be much unallocated space on the drive. What exactly are your intentions, your end goal?

I want to fix sdc3 which is now sdb3 shown on terminal

I want to delete or remove, fix sdb3 extended, because on gparted it shows unallocated (cant upload the picture)
cause i want to change some size of partition on sdb

[yancek]

Before you delete sdc3, or whatever the Extended shows as, you need to first delete the logical partitions within it: sdc5, sdc6 and sdc7. This will of course, totally destroy any data on all of those partitions. If you don't have anything on them, no problem. If you do, you need to move it somewhere else. You can do this in gparted by first unmounting the partitions from the Partition tab and then selecting Delete. Make sure you get the right drive. It can change from sdc to sdb if you remove a drive, hard drive or flash drive so don't have anything else attached and make sure you have the same partitions so you get the correct drive. I'm still not sure why you want to do this. There isn't much unallocated space that I can see from the sector output but if you don't have any data on it, should not matter. Does this have to do with the error you reported? How and when do you see that?

ok finally upload, here is the problem, that shows gparted and it work find windows showing ntfs and on linux'

[oldfred]

I think this is the problem.

Drive total 1953525165 sectors
/dev/sdc2 979961856 1953525167 486781656 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

Or sdc2 ends after the end`of the drive by two sectors.

Often fixparts is the easiest way to fix this issue.

First backup partition table, use your drive for sdX or sda, sdb etc.
sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sdX > parts.txt

The problem is the second partition is too big. Shrink that by a small amount. Gparted should then show all partitions.
