If you have contiguous unused (unallocated) space at the end of the disk,
probably Knoppix itself can do it on install. If you want/need to change or
move your present partitions, there is no better way the ParitionMagic. Yes,
it costs as much as a new HD but you will use it with the new HD as well.
There are free alternatives but they are too scarey for my taste. PM does the
job and is sage (but ... back up beforehand always!).
With ParitionMagic comes BootMagic which will handle your dual-boot as well.
However, read the instructions carefully.
