1) change partition type, format it (diskdrake)
2) bind it into system as /mnt/new (or such)
3) move the data from some existing partition there (/home/ sounds fine,
but your mileage may vary)
4) remove old /home, edit /etc/fstab so that your new partition gets
mounted on right place and either reboot or just remount the partition to
where it should be.
voila
