[plug] Windows 2000 question - expanding partition

[Richard Meyer]

.. and yes, maybe I should have asked it in "off-topic", but since it's
not facetious, or a joke, and it'll make my machine work soo much better
with Linux as well ...

My desktop PC was set up a few years ago, for Win98SE and Linux Dualboot
(actually about 5 different distros), but I have since upgraded to
Win2000 (on the Windows side), and the original partition is waaaaay too
small at under 3GB, and I need to allocate more space.

The output from fdisk is:

> Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
> 
>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
> /dev/hda1   *           1         366     2939863+   b  W95 FAT32
> /dev/hda2             367         494     1028160   82  Linux swap / Solaris
> /dev/hda3             495        1769    10241437+  83  Linux
> /dev/hda4            1770        9729    63938700    5  Extended

Now I can quite easily move the swap partition elsewhere, as well as the
hda3 partition, but how do I get the original W2K partition expanded. I
really rather not go through all the fun and games of reinstalling the
stuff I need to do my work on.

Any ideas?
