If you can create a free partition on your disk, you can dd your existing partition over to that one then use resize2fs to increase the size of the filesystem. Be sure to do this after booting into rescue mode from a Linux CD. Also, check that you can boot into the new partition after you copy the old one over and set the bootable flag. If you can increase the size of the existing partition over itself, just e2resize the filesystem after increasing the partition size. In either case, be sure to backup your data before you run e2resize.
