find the disk usage in ur linux partition
if /home uses a somewhere near 500 mb, then this is the point
use cfdisk and remove the dev/hda3, make it liux native
mount it to a temp mount point, move all info from /home to
this, enter
/dev/hda3          /home          ext2    defaults 1 1
into the /etc/fstabs
and restart the machine.
