cheers, kain.
When you get the chance, get GParted Live Disc from above in the previous post. Depending on if you get the floppy versoin or CD version, just burn/copy it to it's media. Next, just restart your PC normally with the disc/floppy in the drive and make sure to set your bios to boot from it.

Next, you'll get a nice Gnome GUI (will look like windows, dont worry) where you can resize your existing partitions. Since you have done it before, I assume you know how to resize it when you get here. Apply changes and just restart (close the program first. the shutdown button is on the bottom right; you can choose eject the media first and it can reboot for you).
