Hi,

I have an asus tuf fx55dt laptop with a 256gb ssd that has windows installed on it and a 1 tb hard drive as well.


I am going to list the series of events that took place :


1) I installed ubuntu by creating a 300gb partition on my hdd.


2) ubuntu was not booting up without my charger connected so i decided to remove it.


3)ubuntu was installed in a 292gb parttion and a 500 mb efi partiton was also made on my hdd.


4) i deleted the ubuntu partition and an unallocated space of 292gb was made.


Then i tried to extend my 640gb partition in order to have my full hdd space back. But my 640gb partition did not extend to take up the 292gb unallocated space because the 500 mb efi partition is in between the two major partitions. Also my 640 gb partition turned into a simple volume from a primary one.


So now i have a c drive(ssd) with my windows installed and having a seperate efi partition of its own and a d drive(hdd) that has no os on it but has a 500 mb efi partition in between my major partitions.


Also i think my booting still takes place through the d drive efi partiton becuase whenever i boot into my pc first grub shows up followed by the windows bootloader.


I need to get my hdd space back. Please help.
