resize the windows partition and delete it.

Why would you resize it if you're going to delete it? Do you mean
delete the windows partition and then resize the extended logical
partition?

I've thought about Partition Magic by Norton.

Have they bought out PowerQuest?

I use PM with OS/2. It's been reliable at moving partitions, but it
changes partition types without notice. If I hadn't had a sector
editor I would have been seriously ticked off. I haven't tried PM with
Linux file systems and I would want redundant backups before I
considered testing it on a live system.
