And then I realized I didn't need windows anymore. What software would you recommend to convert the partitions left on the SSD to Linux mint compatible ones ?

I can already use them but only as storage.

Can I expand the 70 Go I had reserved for mint without having to go through a full reinstall?

What can I use and how ?

Please, thx

Thx guys,

I'll try to extend my little linux-mint part to <good-size> with gpart after backing up the very few data I have on these disks.

I'll update whenever it's done, whether it's a success or a fail

Thx again :)

Well it's been done just now, success ! Window's gone, I first booted on a live Linux usb key, then formatted the windows partition, then reduce its size to 50mb because y not , then only increased Linux partition to the full left size on the drive. All done with gparted.

So, cool cool ^^

Thx for your hints and advices all
