![]() ![]() Luckily, after running check disk, everything was fine however, data loss is entirely possible. Back when I dual booted Windows 10 and Ubuntu, I used GParted to resize the partition Windows resided on, and it prompted Windows to insist that the filesystem needed to be checked for errors. While GParted is capable of doing so, this can cause issues on Window's end. Warning: Do NOT use GParted to resize/move the Windows NTFS partition. Once inside GParted on the live CD/USB, select the Ubuntu partition and shrink it to your liking. To resize your Ubuntu partition, you will need to boot from the live CD/USB and use GParted from there. If you possess an external hard drive or a USB that's large enough to contain a clone of your current partitioning scheme, I'd highly recommend creating a bootable CD/USB of Clonezilla, which can create an exact copy of your hard drive in your machine and restore it if something goes awry. Any shrinkage or movement of partitions has the potential to cause data loss (though it is typically rare and has never occured in my experience). Back up the files you care about before proceeding. IMPORTANT: If you're concerned about losing data. The short answer to your question is, yes resizing your Ubuntu partition from your live medium should not cause any issues with stability.
