Here is the printout from my Linux box, which I'm trying to re- partition without re-installing. To review, Linux is only using half the harddrive. I want to be able to expand linux into the rest of the drive without messing anything up. Thanks!

Then to see how the partitions are being used try "cat /etc/fstab". Why don't you post the results of those two commands so we know what you're looking at. Depending on how things are laid out it may be fairly simple to use "parted" to expand your current partition(s) into the unused space. -Steve “Take sides.
