I have first installed win 7 from factory, the install Ubuntu.

I ran out of space and there is a lot in Windows partition so I allocate some space from the Windows partition with gparted and then burnt the live CD but can't reboot from CD ROM.

I tried to choose it from the boot menu (F12) and also changing the order of reading (no floppy)

Is there a way to extend the Ubuntu partition with out CD ROM?

if you have a flash drive then you can create USB Startup disk and then boot Ubuntu using that flash drive. From there you can run gparted or any thing else that you want. Also as you booted Ubuntu from Flash and not from harddisk, you can easily edit any of your partitions

use tuxboot or unetbootin to create a bootable usb of gparted live.just use any ubuntu livecd installer and boot into it and select try ubuntu option.now use gparted partition editor to extend the ubuntu partition on your system,the thing is that for any operation like extending etc have to be performed when the volume is offline,so when your using ubuntu on your system its not possible and easeus partition manager would not do any fancy operation on ubuntu partition(ext3,ext4).
