What I have (lazily) done in the past, is:
I backup what I don't want, to lose then,
I verify that I backed up what I don't want, to lose then,
I assure that my backups are OK, AND THEN! :)
I fired up a bogus Ubuntu installation to the drive.
I jump through the hoops, define my partitions, and when the installation
starts, I reboot me machine and configure my empty partitions as I see fit.
YMMV

PS: Free advice, you can't sue me! :)
Did I mention BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP...

How can I shrink the ntfs file system /dev/sda5 shown in the following
screen capture:
- - - http://upquick.com/linux/gparted1.png - - -
to make room to increase the size of my Linux home partition /dev/sda8 ?
I've used ntfsresize to reduce the size of the sda5 partition from 158 gig
to 67 gig, but gparted will not allow me to shrink (resize) sda5. The
"Resize/Move" option in gparted is grayed out as shown in the screen
capture.
So what else can I do to shrink sda5?
