  • I found gparted quite limited.. and windows disk management may be too. Try Easeus partition manager and/or paragon partition wizard. They are free. And if you want to do an image, then use macrium reflect.

  • What is the size of this "unallocated space"? "Cylinder alignment" will sometimes force the creation of unallocated sectors between partitions.

  • @sawdust: I did create the unallocated space since I needed it. It is about 18 GiB.

  • Was the partition dismounted at the time? This should be a piece of cake for gparted. Just for clarification, the logical partition is within an extended partition. It isn't clear from your question if that's what you are describing. Is the free space to the left or right of the one you want to expand?

  • @Ramvignesh: Have you looked into Clonezilla (as noted in the answer below)? Granted a little more work, but it might resolve your issue.
