I don’t know what I did but I must’ve messed up somehow while deleting the distro, so now I only have 700 gigs of my total 1tb of disk space left, when I try to merge the other unallocated 300gigs of space back to the drive, it says “there’s not enough space in the disk(s)”. Anyone willing to help? here are the screenshots:
Just for my personal curiosity, could you clarify what you mean when you say Linux is “too addicting” for you?
Share your curiosity.
Lol I was wondering the same thing xD
Sounds like they were hooked on ricing their distro, classic mistake. Once you start ricing, you can’t stop lol.
It’s like custom PC building, I thought I was bad in college, spending my food and textbook money on PC parts…now I have a custom water cooling loop that cost me nearly as much as my actual PC :P
Try GParted live iso image.
He still won’t be able to allocate this to his “Mia” partition since there’s an EFI between those two unallocated spaces. That’s why I asked in my post if that EFI partition is still being used. If his Windows install is on a different drive with a different EFI partition then he can go ahead and delete all partitions on Disk 0 except for “Mia” and grow the “Mia” partition.
What do you mean «too addicting» ? xD
I’m just curious, that’s the most unusual and unexpected reason to stop using Linux I ever read.
That was also my first though xD. Yes It can sometimes take time get something working correctly but I largely prefere “wasting” my time learning something than losing time on reddit, tiktok, facebook… whatever your drug is ! Also curious what you mean with “too addicting” !
I had a run in with this problem, exact same situation. It’s because the disk is dynamic instead of basic. Heres a solution: https://superuser.com/questions/1489311/cannot-extend-drive-there-is-not-enough-space-available-on-the-disk-to-complete
Altough i determined the 200gigs I lost is not worth the (risk) trouble of losing everything else, so I didn’t go with that solution.> GParted
Is that EFI partition still being used? I take it there’s a EFI partition on your windows drive, correct?
What you can do is create a bootable usb with a live linux distro and use gparted to sort out your partitions
my windows is installed on my C drive so I don’t think it’s used(?)
