Re-sizing a full EXT3 Part with Partition Magic problems


I multiboot two winXP installs and a slackware install.

I started off downloading zipslack, so I didn't figure I needed much and made a 2g linux ext3 partition. Well, I was just installing (after compiling) winE, and it almost finished, and whammy. out of space error. (whops).

So. My partition is now 2007mb / 2007 mb, with a 3gig empty space above it ready to merge. (Tried after it too).

Partition magic will not even go near it. I can't even copy the contents without the destination getting resized! I really need help, I can't even boot up linux! (kernel panick)

PLEASE help...
