#GPARTED LIVE USB FIX WINDOWS PARTITINON HOW TO#
When you say "figure out how to repair it before installing Win 8" that's really concerning. Do I do that from the terminal with a, hopefully easy, terminal command? I'm a novice Linux user. Now, I'm really concerned about how to repair or reinstall the Grub. Reorx, excellent info and confirmation of my questions. You will need a Live USB and the ability to boot from it to resize the Linux partitions on your HD. NB2: You can not manipulate any partitions while they are mounted so you can not manipulate any of the Linux partitions while you are booted to Linux from your HD. Figure out what you have to do to repair GRUB BEFORE installing Win8.

NB: When you install Win8, it will BORK your GRUB (boot loader) and you will not be able to boot your Linux installation until you repaired (reinstall?) GRUB. Once you have resized your Linux installation to your liking, you will then have to create an NTFS partition in the remaining unallocated space to accommodate your Win8 installation. Once you have enlarged SDA4, you can then enlarge SDA5. In order to enlarge your Linux partition (SDA5), you must first enlarge SDA4 to recapture some unallocated space that resulted from removing your Win10 partition (SDA3).
SDA4 is an extended partition which is basically a container for other partitions.
Resize the Linux partition and then use the empty Gateway partition to install Win 8.1?You can resize the Linux partition S into the unallocated space.
