Neither of those are the problem. The fourth primary (sda4) is the extended and all of the free space is after that.
So, you have 3 primaries, one extended, and then free space, outside of the extended partition? Then that free space is lost.
The extended partition most contain all the remaining space, later to be assigned to logical partitions, which may or not use all that space.
It should be possible to change the extended partition size without loosing data. Some tools are able to do it, like the commercial partition magic, I think it is. Maybe there is another method in linux.
But write here the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda so we can judge better.
Thanks Carlos. and for Rajko also Here is output of fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1306 10490413+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1307 3265 15735667+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 3266 3527 2104515 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 3528 10055 52436160 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 3528 4180 5245191 83 Linux /dev/sda6 4181 4833 5245191 83 Linux /dev/sda7 4834 6139 10490413+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda8 6140 7445 10490413+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 7446 10055 20964793+ 83 Linux EasyStreet:/ # I really hope there is such a tool. Otherwise I have an awful lot of work/fooling around to do. That is what I meant when I said,in my original post, I did a really dumb/stupid thing when I partitioned that disk.
