Can't Change My Partition Size

3060 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  justpassingby
Hey awhile back I changed my hard drive 110GB and I split it into 55GB
and 55GB. And now I am running out of room on my drive, so I tried to change it back by trying to resize the partition sizes but it did not work. Can you guys help cause I really need the space and I don't want to buy external memory.

You'll need to make enough free space on both partitions before you can resize them, check gparted's documentation. You should also defrag both partitions.

I would backup all the valuable data before starting the resizing process, if something goes wrong you'll lose all your files. External hard drives are cheap nowadays, it's not a good idea to keep all your data on a single hard drive anyway (physical failures happen).

55GB should be more than enough for the system drive, you could also install some programs on the other partition or move your documents folder there.
