I love Gparted but or simply use parted. Gparted LiveCD is bootable and
a nice gui interface.

To be honest if you could just use fdisk to delete the windows partition
then use mkfs.reiserfs to format the partition reiserfs, update
/etc/fstab to mount the new reiserfs file /mnt/waswindows. That
partition is then separate from the / partition.

Thats pretty much what I would do in this situation - reformat the win
partition and then remount it without messing with changing sizes anywhere
- takes all the risk out. LMV is always an option to make the partition
transparently part of /home.

I would use YaST instead of fdisk. Less confusing.
