If I can see your partition map correctly, first you have to resize your extended partion to include the free space.



After that you can extend /dev/sda5.



You can only do this when Linux on /dev/sda5 is not active. So, you have to do this from another running operating system. A possible solution is to use a Linux Live CD, such as Ubuntu or Knoppix. Summarized




  1. Download a Linux Live CD

  2. Burn it to CD or write it to a USB memory key

  3. Boot Linux Live from CD or USB

  4. Start gparted from Linux Live

  5. Resize your extended partition

  6. Resize your Linux partition /dev/sda5

  7. Reboot



Does this answer your question?
