Talking Is there a way to resize my Mandrake 9 partition?

Hello, I made the mistake of only creating a 3 GB partition for my Mandrake 9 install upon installation. I have around 15 more Gigs of free space on my hard drive.
Is there a way I can increase the size of my Mandrake partition without reinstalling? If it even matters, I have Winxp along with 2000 Server on the HDD also.

Thx for the help,
clanhamjo
