[ale] Next question-- partition trouble

[Mark Wright]

Next question,

I installed ubuntu 9.04 on a laptop that had 8.04 and some other OS  
already on it.  The partition software respected the previously  
installed OSes and only used what was left on the disk to put 9.04.   
I didn't need the down level Ubuntu partition but couldn't do  
anything about it.  Now I am running out of space and want to find a  
way to get rid of the 8.04 partition and use the space for the 9.04  
installation while preserving the other OS that is being tolerated  
due to proprietary wimax hardware.

I have been reading up on grub and gparted but am not seeing what I  
need.  I think I should be able to erase the pointers to the  
partition with Grub then suck that space into the other Ubuntu  
installation with Gparted.

  Any partitioning experts?
