Increase virtual HDD space on VMWare for Ubuntu

I am having an issue following instructions on how to increase from here I cannot get the unallocated space, to merge with the sda1, no matter what I try, I allocate the 30GB, then try it that way, still dont work. I copied sda1 into unallocated, still didn't work! I can decrease size of sda1, but cannot increase it,

can someone help me out please?

I've done:

  1. Shut down VM 2)From settings change disk sizze 3)in CD/DVD setting, load the Ubuntu ISO 4)Start VM, press F2 to get in bios, and change Boot to CD first 5)Run ubuntu as guest 6)sudo apt-get install gparted 7)Run gparted

Thanks
