I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a machine that previously have windows. On windows, there were three partition; 110GB, 190GB & 190GB.

I removed windows completely (my bad, only from) C drive and installed Ubuntu on C drive (110GB)

Now the problem is, only 100 GB is available for Ubuntu (10GB SWAP). Now I'm running out of space in /home directory and wanted to reclaim earlier D drive (190GB) in Ubuntu. Is there any way to do that or reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch is only option.

Below image show quick summary of partition:

First install GParted Partition Editor form Ubuntu software center.

Then format the partition to make it unallocated and make a new partition.

NOTE : You will need to boot from Live Media to re-size boot partition

  • Why not make a separate partition instead of re-sizing. BTW thanks just mentioned it in answer

    Because the OP wants to expand the root partition to have more space. Formatting the partition will delete all data on it
