Alright. So, since I've gotten my new Samsung Spinpoint 1TB drive, I've been movie things like movies and games and large programs over to it to free up my bulging-at-the-seams 750GB OS drive (with 4 current partitions). Anywho, I've freed up an entire partition and want to delete it and extend my Vista partition. Here's the shakedown:
Partition 0 - XP (100GB)
Partition 1 - Vista (150GB)
Partition 2 - One that needs to be deleted (250GB)
Partition 3 - Important documents and music (198GB) <- All backed up on 2 diff. drives, btw.
So, what I'm wondering is, if I boot into a linux live CD (probably Ubuntu...much easier than the Fedora I have), can I delete Partition 2 and extend my Vista partition to fill that space? What are the chances of corrupting my Vista partition? And, should I defrag before I attempt this?
Also, I'm just assuming I need to boot into linux (or another OS on a separate drive)...I need to do this, right?
