On 4.0 install Partitions don't match help manual

[firenice03]

here are the partitions shown in Windows Disk Management:
3 Volumes in the following order:
Vol. = [no name];    File System = [not given]; Status = Healthy (Recovery Partition);                  Capacity = 11.72gb; Free Space = 11.72gb;  % free = 100%
Vol. = System;        File System = NTFS;      Status = Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition); Capacity =  350mb; Free Space = 296mb;  % free = 85%
Vol. = Windows ©; File System = NTFS;    Status = Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition); Capacity =  286gb; Free Space = 105gb;  % free = 37%
in all 3 partitions:  Layout = simple ;  Type = Basic  ;  Fault Tol. = No  ;  Overhead = 0%
I want to use 80GB for LL 4.0 in the (Recovery Partition) /sd3 ; there is 105GB free space available. How do I enlarge sd3?

Some info that may help: https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/insta.../#msg44049


But to start... You're showing Windows vs LL sdx info, so not 100% where on the disk these are arranged (the link above will explain)
The Recovery is only 12GB (sda3?) then a 350mb (prob boot) and 286GB C:

You're best bet... Clean up C: (though you could get by) then in Windows Shrink the volume, and use space from this partition leaving the others alone.
Currently 105gb free = allows for 50 for LL 50 for Windows to grow and +\- 5 for swap as is...

If you dead set on using the recovery you'll still need to Shrink C and use  40gb from it + the 12 from recovery to have the 50 you want..
BUT recovery will need to be at the end of the disk - which it usually is not. If its at the front, I'm not sure you'll be able to rearrange to make use of it, unless you remove it and make use of it for swap.

Hope the info helps...
