i will resize my existing drive using gnu parted but what do i have to do i couldnt figure out the program? commands and why doesnt my hard disk start from 0 it starts from 0.033?

use fdisk.
# fdisk /dev/hda
and type m for all the options.
type p to see what partitions you have.

if I understand this correctly you will have to use a boot disk
see parted docs
