Yes, as long as there is sufficient space remaining on the hard drive. Using a partition manager such as GParted, you can increase or decrease the size of an existing partition.
I assume that you mean increase the partition size of the OS. 1. Boot into a liveCD 2. Start GParted or QtParted 3. Expand the partition
in the fixed partition the partition is once allocated is fixed. in fixed partition more memory wastage because of internal & external fragmentation.... in variable partition when a process comes then according to need of process the size of memory is allocated to the process
First select a partition you would like to format. There are three ways to format a chosen partition: a. Select Format in the menu Partition.b. Click Format button in the Tool Bar.c. Select the button Format Partition underthe group Partition Operations in the Action Panel.When using this function, you need to reset the drive letter and Cluster Size of the new partition. The scope of Cluster Size is 512 Bytes, 1KB, 2KB, 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 32KB, 64 KB. We usually recommend you use the default size. When you use the default, Partition Wizard will work out the proper Cluster Size according to the size of the partition. Attention: Formatting will destroy all the data on the chosen partition. If the system partition or start partition is formatted, the current OS will not boot properly.
256mb
There is no set amount of time. It can vary tremendously, depending on the type of partition, the size of the partition, and the speed of the computer.
No. Well, you could probably make a startup script that dynamically resized partitions and run it from the initrd, but that could take several hours, depending on where the partition was on the drive and what direction you were expanding it, thus making it incredibly impractical. If you know how large you need to make the partition, why not just allocate it to that and leave it?

As it is currently supported by the drivers in Windows, an NTFS partition can be no larger than 256 terabytes.
Use your Ubuntu CD. Find a program called "GParted" or "Gnome Partition Editor". Click on your XP partition and click "Resize" and make it smaller. Then, do the same with your Ubuntu partition, and drag it until it fills the space left by XP.
There is no utilities with windows which can help, but there are plenty from other companies, such as Acronis Disk editor, Partition Magic and so on.
The type of partition is irrelevant to how much data can be stored. A partition can hold as much data as has been designated on the hard drive during the creation of the partition. The size of your hard drive determines how large the NTFS partition can be.
The size limit of a partition will depend on the firmware of the computer in question, the size of the hard drive, and what file system is being used. For example, many older BIOSes cannot see past the 127 GB barrier, the largest single hard drive currently available is about 2 TB, and the maximum size of an NTFS partition is 256 TB.
