Free space must be adjacent to a partition to make increasing the size of that partition possible.
You can use
gparted
running from a Live CD to move that 268GB partition (mysteriously called "C") to the front of the free space. Then you can increase the size of the extended partition.If you get an error from gparted during the resize process (it boils doen to
partitions cannot overlap
) then you've hit a bug in the gparted version shipped with Ubuntu 12.10 (it is 0.12.1).
