My laptop is dual booted with windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I want to increase my root and home partition size without reinstalling Ubuntu or windows. I cannot part more than 4 drives in my laptop. My laptop was DOS. How can I increase partitions size for Ubuntu without losing data and re installing. I searched on google and found some software "gparted" but have no idea. Please help me. I don't want to boot from disk or usb again. I cannot do more partitions as I can only have at most 4 disk partitions :-
Primary partition (System reserved files)
C drive (windows)
Root (Ubuntu)
Home (Ubuntu)
Now what to do ?
update-grub
from the LiveCD before rebooting, and Grub will have the updated partition layout data. (Also, reinstalling just to resize a partition is a bad practice...)\
to denote paths. It should be/
(for the root directory) and/home
for the home directory.
