You cannot combine hda1 with hda3 unless you change them to lvm. One way you can recover the space used is to re-partition/format. Of course you will need to backup and restore your data.
Another way is to use other partitions within your running system such as /usr /opt /home partitions. These come from the space currently being used by hda3.
The most efficient way will be to re-partition/format and create swap,/,/home. This will allow the maximum usage of your drive.
Hi Ken. I'm somewhat confused now. I want to do what's best. Could You tell me bit more on how to do the last part of Your 2 last lines ?. Erik
