   ARGH.

   Finally managed to get the bigger disk space freed up on my D drive, but the Disk Manager has the option to extend the partition greyed out.

   I'm thinking I'll have to delete my linux partition altogether, create a new bigger partition with all that free space, and reinstall.

   A pain, but oh well. Lesson learned.

     @FlashMobOfOne I ran into similar issues after using Clonezilla to copy a 512GB NVMe drive to a larger 1 TB drive. The cloning was fine but then I tried monkeying around with resizing / moving partitions to create one larger, contiguous partition.

     All I can say is make sure you've got a good backup!

     Have you tried an ubuntu usb stick to boot and then use gparted?
     You may need to also install some parted extras for Linux to read the windows partitions.

     @FlashMobOfOne @analogfusion can't quite work out what I are trying to do, can u explain more. One thing that can catch you up is the attributes on partitions, some the gui won't go near and so you have to use the cmd line to alter, but as I say can't work out what you are trying to do, but also yeah do a live usb boot and use gparted or similar as suggested above

     Also with the ntfs-3g driver?

     Then maybe try fsck that partition. If all fail you have a more serious problem with that partition. It's broken. There are tutorials out there. But it's a lot of work; making an image, somehow loop-di-loop it into g parted and use testdisk or something to tingle with the boot sector. I wouldn't recommend it if you can afford to lose the partition.
