I&#39;m now faced with my PC&#39;s 200gig boot drive. 160Gb was for windows because I never thought I&#39;d actually full out switch. 1Gb for swap, and 28Gb for my linux install. And that&#39;s the way they are partitioned on this disk. My goal is to absolutely blow away the 160 and the swap. Then at the beginning of the disk add a 1Gb swap, and stretch the 28Gb partition through the newly created void. I&#39;ve done this before with windows using Partition Magic, and all went well. But I know when I do this my swap will become(guessing) hde1, then the rest hde2, causing the need to redo /etc/fstab after the repartition via a live disk. I think. I could just be making all this up :p
