I have a dual boot machine that I want to change the partition sizes on. I've already shrunk the WinNT partitions and now have 50-60 Gig of unallocated space on two drives. The WinNT partitions are at the beginning of both disks (C and D), and the linux file systems are at the ends of both disks (/dev/hdb2, /dev/hdb5 and /dev/hda2), with the free space in the middle.

I want to increase the size of the linux partitions to take up all free space.

Can this be done without a re-install and if so, what tools to use? I used Partition Magic 8 to resize the NT partitions.
With partition magic 8 you can do it! Move your linux partition , than resize it. That would work, if you aren't using a bed file-system like reiser-fs. This I have tried, but you can't do it with Partition Magic or any other program, I know. Good luck, Andreas
