David,
You are right, the new ML 9.1 does indeed resize fat32 and NTFS
partitions and I've heard of people having good results so far with it.
I agree'd with your method as well, that is how I would do it.

Boot up using Mandrake 9.1 install disk 1. Start the install on /dev/hdb as

you should be able to use cfdisk to resize your partitions - however it's
