I am new to Ubuntu. I just formatted, and installed Ubuntu alongside Windows. While partitioning, I made a mistake it seems. 20 GB goes unallocated and I am unable to use it. I used Gparted to try to recover that space. I already tried many existing solutions, but it is not working for me. I hope my question is clear. Thanks in advance.

I just found out how to do it.
Just boot to ubuntu from live boot cd/usb.

gparted will be there already. Just open it.
Then right click swap area and do swap off.
Next, right click the extended partition and then select resize. Resize the extended partition.

Then commit your changes.

Right click the extended partition then, switch the swap on.

Thats it. My extended partition is now merged with extended one.
