Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i have always found it MUCH easier to use gparted on a live cd
that solves the problem of not being able to reformat or change the running disk .
yeah that's right.But its possible to use it as just another disk partitioner on CentOS,i guess! Is there any other utility which can help me out to carry the same task for CentOS?
you can only change a "not being used" disk
say you have 3 drives
windows is on drive 1
cent5.5 on drive 2
then you could use gparted on cent to edit drive 1 or 3 but not 2 or at-leastnot the partition that / ,/boot,/home,/swap and on
