lalit , a lot will depend on how you have parttioned ur disk, if ur disk is something 
like this..

  -----------------------------------------------
  |          |                |                  |
  | WIN      |   Linux        | WIN 2            |
  -----------------------------------------------

then u can do it with partition magic by taking space from  win2..  but if u have kept 
linux at end of ur hard-drive the it is very difficult to find any solution. maybe u 
can extract some space from windows partition and format it using partition magic pro 
(v7) as ext2 and see whether the space adds up but it seems highly unlikely to me..  
just give it a try.. also specify which version of partition magic you are  using...
