Hi there!
A few months back I have finally buckled down and installed Linux
(Debian Sarge) on my computer. As I was a Windows user for many years,
I've kept my Windows XP installation and used dual-booting.
My current hard-drive scheme looks like this (output from fdisk -l):
----------
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1770 14217493+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 * 1835 3045 9727357+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 1771 1834 514080 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda4 3046 9729 53689230 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 3046 9729 53689198+ 83 Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order
----------
As you can see, Windows is on the first partition, Debian is on the
second (My bootloader is GRUB), the swap is the third and a general
data partition (ext2) is on the forth.

Ever since I've installed Linux, I haven't found one reason to boot
Windows and now I wish to delete it (Format its partition) and move the
free space thus created to the general data partition (Without losing
any data from my Linux and general data partitions of course).
Obviously(?) this requires moving partitions 2-5 down.

What are the steps that I need to follow in order to perform this task?

Thanks a lot,
Ido Perelmutter.
