Netbook ubuntu partition too small on Acer Aspire one

HMARS · 09-30-2009, 07:56 PM

I have a pretty standard netbook that I installed Ubuntu Netbook remix onto today (dual-booting with Winxp), only to realize that the Ubuntu partition has only 100mb of free space. I tried using format utilities on both operating systems to resize the volumes, but the windows one can't read ext, and the Ubuntu one can't read ntfs. How can I either resize the volumes or uninstall Ubuntu completely so i can install it with a bigger partition allocation?

Maybe you could simply install again ubuntu (without uninstalling it first.)

With gparted (get it off sourceforge.net you might be able to do it.

I think gparted knows both ntfs and ext3 so resize the ntfs down and the ext3 up

I just reinstalled using the installer partitioner, and it works fine now. Thanks!
