Fedora Core And Partition Magic 8.01

I noticed Partition Magic 8.01 can't do anything with the Fedora Core 3 partitions. I want to increase the size of my Fedora partition any ideas??

hi,
try booting with a bootable linux cd, like knoppix for example.
Open a shell, and use parted to resize your (ext3 ?) partition.

NOTES: (1) The start of the partition must stay fixed for ext2, ext3 and reiserfs

try to boot with your fedora cd into some kind of resque mode, and see if it has parted. (in case you don't have something like knoppix)
