I have a disk in use that I wanna remove to free up the sata port (so I can plug in my dvd drive and watch movies!) Disaster struck when I tried to shrink the partition on the target drive to make room for the partition on the drive I want to remove from the machine What's the best way to go about doing this?

There is no "best" way, but the way you are going about it makes perfect sense to me: shrink the partition on the target drive, create new partition on the target drive, copy old drive partition there. What exactly is the issue? – zwets Jan 15 '24 at 08:51

Copy the partition using what command, dd? – fugee ohu Jan 15 '24 at 10:26

That's one way, if the partition has the right size. But there will be other ways. I'm quite sure you will find one that suits you if you search AskUbuntu, e.g. here. – zwets Jan 15 '24 at 11:24
