Right off the bat I right clicked and resized the offending partition to 4.88 gig. Here's my problem, I show a lock on the Ubuntu partition and I have this 31.61 gig of free space that I wish to use with the Ubuntu and I do not know the first thing about how to get me out of the mess that my big head has gotten me into. from gparted it reads; 74.53 gb total /dev/hdb1 ntfs 30.38 gb /dev/hdb2 ext3 4.88 gb .....<Kubuntu> unallocated ..... 31.61 gb /dev/hdb4 ext3 5.51 gb .....<Ubuntu & it's locked> /dev/hdb3 extended 2.15 gb <it's locked> /dev/hdb6 linux swap 305.86 mb <it's locked.> /dev/hdb5 linux swap 1.85 gb Did I kill it? ;-) </body> </html>
