Bah! What's all this proprietary software for when you can do it safely at
home with regular household cleaning items? Or something.
Use fdisk (preferably cfdisk if you're not a masochist) and GNU parted.
All you have to do to extend a partition is rewrite a larger one with
(c)fdisk (obviously you need some room to change the partition table this
way), and then tell parted to resize the filesystem appropriately. Other
way around for... well, the other way around.
The documentation for both of these tools is pretty good. I must admit that
Partition Magic used to make me feel more comfortable doing such things, but
now the mock Win9x look just scares me. ;) Great software tho.
