Older, obsolete releases of Ubuntu are no longer available on localized mirrors. Instead, you must use the old-releases repositories. This is done by replacing the repository entries in /etc/apt/sources.list:

us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources

would become

old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources

To resolve, perform an extension of the volume using diskpart.

Open an elevated command prompt and start diskpart (type diskpart and press Enter).

List all volumes to find out which volume number corresponds with the drive you need to resize: DISKPART> list volume



Select the volume  ...
