So, I'm dual boot with Vista(TM) and UBUNTU(tm) and ran out of space on Ubuntu partition:
I booted Ubuntu 10.04LTS live CD and shrank the VISTA. It would NOT let me grow the extended partition??? So now I have: sda1 ntfs /media/TOSHIBA_SYSTEM_VOLUME 1.46GB sda2 ntfs /media/SQ004588V03 88GB sda4 ext3 THIS IS MY NEW PARTITION 15GB sda3 extended sda5 ext3 / THIS IS MY OLD UBUNTU partition 6GB sda6 linux swap 340MB Then I used gparted on live CD to copy files from old partitin sda5 to sda4. But grub still boot to old partitiion. How do I change grub to work? Is it grub or grub2?
