I'm using GParted to expand the size of my /dev/sda1
partition and I know why GParted isn't letting me do that, since that is the root partition. GParted isn't on a live CD, it's on my virtual machine.
I also have 11.53 GB of unallocated space that I would want to put into this partition. However, I'm running my Ubuntu system on VirtualBox and I don't have a live CD of the operating system because I downloaded the ISO from Ubuntu's website, so how am I supposed to expand my partition's size in that case without losing all of my data?
I looked at similar postings but I'm new to partitioning and I don't want to ruin my virtual machine so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
