When I initially installed Ubuntu, I was running both Windows and Ubuntu in separate partitions. However, at one point I decided to run just Ubuntu and basically deleted the Windows partition and consolidated it into one large one. I realize now in hindsight that was rather foolish and now I am attempting to once again resize it.

From everything I've read, I realize I cannot edit the partition because it's the one that I'm currently using and so I have made multiple attempts at using a 16GB USB Drive to make a live boot USB but any attempt to do this has so far failed. I've tried using the builtin system tools as well as using Ventoy.

(which oddly enough allows me to create a live USB and even goes as far as loading into the recovery screen but then fails when I attempt to boot it.)

I realize most people might just remake an Ubuntu Live USB instead and go through the whole "try it" process but I'm running off cell data in a fairly remote location and so downloading the 3GB OS unfortunately isn't an option at this point.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
