cannot add space to my installed partition in linux mint
originally i installed Linux mint to experiment with it and found that i like it more than windows, so i want to allocate more hard drive to it, i already have 400 GB allocated but i want to allocate 600 more GB since i have a large hard drive that i don't use. i installed GParted and was able to un-allocate 600 GB from my windows partition and now that's free and i cant extend my current 400 GB partition adding the 600 GB partition, if i was vague on my question just ask me.

You should not try to change partitions in a running system.
Boot Mint from the installation cd, if it allows you to run as a livecd. Then use Gparted to expand your Mint partition. |
I don't think gparted will let you do some things to partitions (like grow them) if they are mounted (in use).
So, I suggest you:
Be careful, gparted is very powerful. Good luck.. |
