... to grow the current partition, you simply re-create it
to include the new size you want. let's say you have:
/dev/hdb1 == 3.7 gig, formatted as ext3
/dev/hdb2 == 4.1 gig, formatted as ext3
you want hdb1 to include (grow it) hdb2 (using fdisk):
1) delete partition /dev/hdb2
2) let fdisk tell you the starting cylinder # for hdb1
3) delete /dev/hdb1
4) create a new Linux (hdb1) partition, using the starting
cylinder number given in (2) and for the size, give
it the sum of 3.7+4.1 or 7.8M
5) grow the filesystem (which already exists) on hdb1
for a somewhat detailed overview, go here:

... simply create the directories on that blank partition,
copy the directories' contents to the newly created ones,
then specify the entries in /etc/fstab
