I'm running FC3 on my laptop in a dual boot. The only thing I've booted
to windows for was to get on a wireless network since I haven't been
able to get my dwl650 or the internal wireless card working. So I'm
considering getting rid of my windows partitions. Below is my partition
table. 

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        2627    21101346    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2            2628        3902    10241437+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3            3903        3915      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/hda4            3916        9729    46700955    5  Extended
/dev/hda5            3916        9729    46700923+  8e  Linux LVM

-What's the best way to remove these two NTFS partitions? 

-Can I remove them and use qtparted to move and resize my linux
partitions? Move Linux and Extended to the beginning of the drives and
expand Linux LVM over the rest of it. 

-Or should I just plan on reinstalling? 

Thanks,
James
