Partition playground
Hi
I have ubuntu installed system with dual boot windows xp.I need to enlarge linux partition. I have a free disk in windows partation. I need to add some diskspaces to ubuntu part without any damage.
I mean I would like to use my system as before.Windows and Ubuntu.
Is there any free software that does?
Thanks.

post output of sudo fdisk -lu Note: -l is a small L not a one. Indicate what is on each partition listed.

Which partition, sda1 "likely the OS" or sda5 "likley storage"? How mush would you like to shrink it by ?I have a free disk in windows partation
Due to the partition lay out likely you will need to move /home to the new free space or move the Document or download folder to the space.
You need to give us a better idea on just what you want to do.
Shrinking any partition allways has a posibility to loose all, it normally works but any important data should to be backed up.
