adding space to ntfs partition
I created an 1gb(sda
partition in my extended partition (sda3). Now how can I delete it and put it back to the ntfs partition(sda1)? I already tried with gparted, I delete the partition, it becomes unallocated space, but I cannot move it to the ntfs partition. Suggestions?

i think sda1 is Primary Partition and free space is in Extended Partition. if there isn't anyother Logical Partition and Extended Partition is empty, delete Extended partition too.
post snapshot of GParted, if possible.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Latest version of GParted has ntfs-3g package too. you can save in NTFS partition too.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

okk ! free space is inside Extended Partition.
three steps:
* right click on Border of Extended Partition. click resize and move slider to right. click Apply.
now free space is outside of Extended Partition's Border.
* right click on NTFS partition, select resize and move slider to right side. click Apply.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
