Ran out of space on my old SSD so i bought a new M.2 drive that had a larger capacity. This video saved me big time, literally the only info of this kind I could find. Thank you so much.
What a great guide, thanks! Helped me fix my dad’s old laptop which had run out of space on C drive by moving the restore partition. For anyone else with ancient equipment, Rufus version 3.22 is the latest that supports Windows 7
Thank you so much for this. I would have been lost without this information. Almost bought a new laptop but was able to move a large unallocated portion around so I can finally use it. Much appreciated!!
Do you have nvidia graphics card by any chance ? Apparently some nvidia cards have issue starting X Desktop causing it to get stuck at that step. When booting into gparted live, select "Other modes of GParted Live" and choose "GParted Live (Safe graphics setting, vga-normal)". It worked for me.
Thanks man, you really helped me, spent whole day searching for the solution and none of them really worked and your solution worked like a charm, finally I can sleep now😂
You need to enter the boot menu and change the boot order to be the usb first. This can be different on different devices but usually if you mash F2 when you computer is starting up you can get there
Thanks for making this video. Most people with this problem will be told to just delete the recovery partition, if that's the most common reason they need to do this. At 6:45 in the version of GParted I have, you can actually just click the green bar which represents the recovery partition and drag it all the way to the right I'm not sure if you're using a HDD, the optimal partition alignment on modern drives confuses me. I just set mine to MiB and hopefully that'll be better with my SSD.
when i select the first option there are a lot of lines in the console and nearly all of them say failed to load nvidia drivers failed to load firmware and when i hit enter on language selection and x it shows the final screen before booting but it never boots
I installed rufus on a usb stick, i boot it up, i go with the normal setting and it just freezes at the debian info. I dont know what to do :( help pls
Hi, I installed Rufus, GParted, but when I restart the computer, normal Windows starts. Need to launch from a flash drive? I'm just afraid of taking the wrong step and having to reinstall Windows. Please help me quickly.🙏 I just need to move one section and it's causing me so much suffering :c
@@KMDTech Thank you, I succeeded, but in the end the EFI partition did not move. It looks like the only thing that can save you is reinstalling Windows.
I find much friendlier Rescuezila since not only that includes GParted but more GUI wise all along not needing of chosing any other setting than required like in the GParted itself.
Hi there, I have a dual boot of Linux and Windows but wish to delete Linux. Can I just do that straight from Gparted and reclaim it for Windows without doing any damage?? Thank you
I would have moved the 522MiB Partition #4 to before the 24.45GiB Partition #3. That way all hidden, special, smaller partitions are at the beginning in one group and all larger friendly data partitions are together at the end of the drive. Doesn't matter for speed or anything but you'd be set up better in the future in case you need to go through all of this again getting an even larger drive. The next larger drive's unallocated space will immediately be adjacent to the friendly partition you'd want to extend to!
Your video helped me a lot! I'm glad I learned something new! Learning how to use this program will save me so much trouble in the future when windows app decides it doesn't want to work and extend my ssd into unallocated space. And I was appalled at the amount of money these companies charge for their disk partition software. its much better just to learn how to use gparted. or at least learn enough to do what you need to do. Thank you!
Tried other methods but windows prevented me from merging any partition in. I initally followed the step but still came to the same conclusion. I went back to Gparted again and deleted the reserved spaces that prevented me from partitioning the drives, rebooted and now all the partitions have been merged. Thank you so much for your help.
EXCELLENT. ONLY ONE QUESTION. IN THE LAST OPERATION, WHY DID YOU USE THE WINDOWS DISK MANAGER TO EXTEND THE C PARTITION? YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT FROM GPARTED SIMPLY, OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON? IN ANY CASE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TUTORIAL
Dated reply, but it was probably to show that the empty space in the drive becomes fully controllable in Windows once it's been edited and realigned by GParted
Just curious how come you use Cylinder for Align to? I read the Manual and it said use MiB for modern operating system, and I thought windows 10 is pretty modern. Thank you for the great tutorial!

Thank you sir! Spent the last 24 hours on this problem, only your content on the web helped. Cheers!

Thank you. I will be employing this methodology this weekend. Keep up the great videos.
I'm not smart enough to use this. Mine got stuck at 4:54 and would progress no further.
You should watch the whole video before proceeding anything.

@@mr.ultron7798Thank you so much my guy
@@mr.ultron7798 I know this is a very late reply but that has worked for me, thank you very much for saying ^^
@mr.ultron7798 Thank you! Just had this exact issue and your fix worked perfectly.

Gparted won’t work on me. It just freezes on the next screen after you answer the ‘Which mode do you prefer?’ question.
Any other way to do this without needing a USB bootable?
my g parted just doesnt start i hit restart on my pc and it just restrats without g parted turning on
You need to enter the boot menu and change the boot order to be the usb first. This can be different on different devices but usually if you mash F2 when you computer is starting up you can get there
@@henrycullen950 I did but it says boot up from different boot
Yes you want to boot up from the different boot
Same, the gparted usb option is not visible on boot menu

When you boot from USB, choose "gparted VGA large fonts", this helped me.

Yes, boot from your flash drive to start up GParted.

if in case additional disk added in windows, then how can we extend C partition
I find much friendlier Rescuezila since not only that includes GParted but more GUI wise all along not needing of chosing any other setting than required like in the GParted itself.
When I right click on my unallocated everything is greyed out except New and Properties…
Everything went swimmingly except I get "gparted bug: a partition cannot end after the end of a device
Same, any fixes?

Stuck on black screen after selecting language and other stuff 😢
me too
@6.48, how did you get the figure 103348MB?

I get a bunch of errors when I try to launch gparted, most notably nouveau unknown chipset
Have you downloaded the right version for your cpu? Try the x86-version
hi, the geparted debian interface doesn't load for me, why? Thank you.
Hello, did it work?
I used this video to do the exact thing but in VMWare W10, works fine so far

Does this work for Linux aswell (it's a headless os)
Just tried this, worked great. Thanks!
