    I've got a laptop with a 60GB drive divided 50/50 between SUSE 9.3 and
    WinXP. I'd like to reclaim the the 30GB WinXP partition and use the
    60GB drive exclusively for SUSE (making a 30GB /data partition).

    What would be the easiest way to do this? I've got Partiion Magic 7
    with which I thought I might nuke the WinXP partition. Or is doing
    this in Linux better. The current SUSE partitions are ReiserFS so I
    thought I'd do the same with this new partition.

    I have a ton of data on the SUSE side and I could backup and do a
    complete reinstall, but this would be a last resort.

    Thanks for tips.
