    Hi all!

    I have the following configuration on my harddisk:

    1. NTFS (Win XP) 20 GB
    2. Linux Swap 1 GB
    3. Reiser (SuSE 8.2) 20 GB

    I use GRUB as bootmanager.

    Because this is a notebook and I do not need that much space for
    Linux, I would like to make the SuSE 8.2 partition smaller, and make
    the Win XP partition bigger. Therefore the Swap partion also has to be
    moved.
    Can anybody tell me, what would be the most safe way to do this?
    Should I use Partition Magic or a Linux tool? I know how to resize the
    partitions with Partition Magic but the main question is, if GRUB will
    find them after that, especially the Linux Partitions which are at the
    end of the drive.
    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards,
    Anguel
