Re: [Re: [LI] linux partition]

hi aditya
           you can use partition resizer for this
purpose. first you need to shrink your e: and then the
extended partition and then increase the size of linux
partition. 
           I myself has done this before and it had
worked perfectly fine.
           Partition resizer is downloadable freely
from http://members.xoom.com/Zeleps.

    Best of luck.
