Linux Partitioning

["Lourens Streicher" <LourensS bks co za>]

I've recently partitioned my HDD into a 3Gb and 1Gb section to handle Windows & Linux respectively. However disk space is short for Linux and I would like to enlarge the Linux partition without deleting or corrupting the data on it. So far I've been able to free a section of the Windows partition which I would like to "add" to the Linux partition. The software I'm using "System Commander" was quite useful in setting this up.

Enlarging or reducing the FAT32 is no problem, but when it comes to enlarging the Linux Ext2FS, no luck, even if there is a free partition. All I can do is create another Linux partition from the free space, but I can increase the main Linux partition with all my files on it.

Anybody that might know how to do this? - should Disk Druid/fdisk work? I'm a bit skeptical about any partitioning software since I've thrashed my hard drive a while ago while repartitioning .
