I am installing ubuntu in my laptop. This is my current disk partition.

/dev/sdb1 = 170GB primary that install ubuntu
/dev/sdb2 = 140GB logical
/dev/sdb3 = 160GB logical
/dev/sdb4 = 155GB logical
/dev/sdb5 = 3GB swap area
/dev/sdb1 = 15GB unknown (not allocated)

I want this /dev/sdb1 15 GB unknown (not allocated) to use as swap area with /dev/sdb3

This 15 GB is not merged with /dev/sdb1 primary.

    why not use 16.04 or 17.04 ? – Suici Doga Aug 17 '17 at 05:04
  • /dev/sdb1 listed twice with different size?! What does “use as swap area with /dev/sdb3” mean? Do you want to use it as the only swap partition for the Ubuntu installed to /dev/sdb3, or to have two swap partitions? – Melebius Aug 17 '17 at 07:08

Try to boot Ubuntu from a Live disk and run Gparted.

Then unmount all the partitions and add the unknown space to your swap partition.

You can also check THIS if you have any confusion. That link provides in details what I have said.
