Re-partioning a ext2 disk without loosing data

[Mario Bertrand <mbert@cam.org>]

Hi,

Here is my situation. I had windoze installed on a second hard drive that
crashed recently. Now i would like to re-intall it on my first hard wich is
partioned and formated with linux on it. I have a spare partition for backups 
purpose at the end of the drive on /dev/hda8 that i can split and intall
windoze on it. It is possible to re-partition only that part of the hard drive
without loosing data and what would be the best way to do that? Will
windoze be able to boot from there if there is LBA option in my Bios?

Thank's
