| BIOS = Basic Input/Output System | |
| (U)EFI = (Unified) Extensible Firmware Interface | |
| MBR = Master Boot Record | |
| GPT = GUID Partition Table | |
| UEFI / EFI / BIOS = Firmware interface | |
| MBR / GPT = How the computer knows (per hard disk) what partitions are on the drive and how to boot from them. | |

| 1) Resize partition | |
| Use parted (command line) or gparted (GUI) to resize the first and last partition. The first partion should have about 200MiB before it, and the last partition should have 1MiB to 2MiB (either will do) taken off the end. | |
