Answer

Yes it is possible to extend Xubuntu remix to take the whole disk. Dont forget to backup your data before starting..

Resize and extend partitions

  • First boot into a live ubuntu, unmount all the partitions
  • using gparted delete the partation containing xubuntu (in your case sda6,sda5,and sda2)
  • now right click in the partition containing xubuntu remix(sda1) and select resize/move
  • then drag the end of partition to take all the space

Install grub

sudo grub-install /dev/YYY(sda)

where YYY is the disk where xubuntu remix is installed (eg. sda,sdb…etc)

Or use sudo update-grub
