    I have two hard disks. One has the /boot and windows the other has / .The
    second hard disk has all of the Linux partitions. In addition the second
    drive had a windows partition that I repartitioned Linux ext3. All I need
    really is to grow the / partition which is now 3.7 gig or add the new
    partition which is 4.1 gig with some mapping /usr and /var. My problem is
    that I don't want to reinstall Redhat 9.0 since I have everything working
    so I would have to copy the existing /usr and /var to the new partition
    and let the operating system know where they are.

    Thanks!
