There is no way to move the partition wall, however just use linux-fdisk to
delete the dos partition snd redfine it as linux-native, you then can make a
ext filesystem and edit /etc/fstab to mount the drive under a name you
spesifie, ie, new.

fdisk /dev/hdx where hdx is the drive a b c or d.

p shows the partitions.

say 4 is dos.
issue the command d
then 4
then n 
you will then be asked;
Command action
   e   extended
   p   primary partition (1-4)

p
Partition number (1-4):
2 for the second partition.
define the size
use w to write the allocation table, no data will be lost on other
partitions.

an entry in etc/fstab

/dev/hdx2               /new                    ext2    defaults        1 2

x is the drive letter a b c or d.

Dont forget to create a directory.
mkdir /new
