I am transferring from Windows to Linux. Windows was my primary operating system, and that is what is installed on my C:\ drive I do not intend to remove Windows yet
I have installed Linux on G:\, and gave it 100GB space. I would now like to extend how much space Linux has
I am moving files across from Windows to Linux, drawing on various external hard disks
I have two physical hard drives; disk 0 is 1TB, and disk 1 is 6TB: Disk Manager
The second disk is split into two drives, D:\ and G:\ Windows Explorer
However, I cannot shrink G:\ to give the space to my Linux partition, despite having over 1TB free
Defrag reports 0% fragmentation, so I infer that fragmentation is not the issue
I have read Cannot shrink C: partition: Not enough space , but I do not get the "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation" error
I have read How to shrink Windows 7 boot partition with unmovable files, but Windows Event Log gives me an ID 258, which, unlike ID 259, does not give me any parameters that I can feed into fsutil
I have read How can I shrink my Windows partition further than the disk management is allowing? , but I cannot find any boot files on G:\ (and I would not expect them anywhere but C:\), even with hidden files being displayed
How can I shrink my G:\ drive so that I can give my Linux partition to extra 1TB please?
