Just a notice, perhaps not needed, that with plain repartitioning you will
lose all info on your disk. You will have to resort to some
"intelligent" partitioning program in order to keep all your data.
Backup is the keyword here, make sure you have everything on diskette,
tape, cd, MO or something before you start. Better safe than sorry.
