I installed Ubuntu and during installation I formatted all the hard disk by mistake. Now I am trying to partition it (with GParted), but for some reason I can't, when I click on resize, the size of the partition is not editable. I think I should've partitioned it before the installation. Here is a snapshot from GParted. enter image description here

Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu?

  • Could you please add a little more detail? What *exactly* did you do, what did you want to achieve and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. (see [How do I ask a good question?](/help/how-to-ask)) – David Foerster Sep 13 '16 at 08:50

You cannot resize a mounted ext* partition. Boot the Ubuntu installer disk, choose Try Ubuntu and run GParted without mounting your hard disk.
