This one's a quickie. I had a 1.2 gb which was split with a 64 MB swap and the rest was the primary partition (ext2).
Now I have a new disk as hda, a 17 gb, and everything's fine. I set up my old disk as hdb. blah blah blah... However I'd like to reclaim that old 64 MB swap partition and use it as ext2. If I just re-partition it (hdb2) as ext2 and format it, I will not lose the data on the primary partition (hdb1)... correct? Please just let me know whether I'm right or wrong on this. Thanks.
