I would like to add a partition to my laptop hard disk, but i don’t know how to do it...
It has the following partitions
*Dell utility
*OS
*mount point
*swap



I tried to edit the 488GB partition but i could not. Someone tell me how to create a partition in this 488GB which is marked a boot able mount point. I have attached the screen shot from disk utility for reference.

First of all, backup your data just in case. Although it is an "easy" process, playing with partitions for the first time can easily bring you data loss if you don't know what you are doing.




  • Start Ubuntu using a Live CD

  • Start gparted

  • Select the 488Gb partition, and resize it, reducing its size enough to have room for the new partition

  • Select the extended partition and increase its size

  • Create the new partition in the free space now available within the extended partition
