I was dumb enough to give windows 32 gigs, and Linux 10 gigs. I am running out of space with linux, so I want to give windows 10 gigs, and Linux 32. Is there anyway I can do this without loosing anything on my harddrive?

If your Windoze is using a FAT32 system, it might be possible (though not exactly simple)... if it's using NTFS (Windows 2000, NT, and usually XP) there's really no way at all. Which one is it?
I was fooling around and lost my Windoze crap, so I all I care about now is my Linux. By the way, I am running slackware 9.1, and my linux partition is at the end of the drive.

If you really want to blow away all of your Windoze stuff (which I highly recommend), any decent partition manager should be able to just delete the Windoze partition and create a new Linux partition in its place (this would be far easier than trying to resize your current one... it's not that much of a pain to have two... if fact, I rather like it) or even create two with the free space-- one 10 gig one for Windoze (if you want it back) and the rest of the space for Linux. You could even use the version of FDISK that comes with Linux, if you want to be nasty... hope that helps, and look! I answered that question in only two sentances!
I doesn't take me very long to downloads 10 gig's of programs, so all I want is a partition to store all those files. Mostly of my downloads are linux distro ISO files.
