Using GParted in from the live Linux install disk to set up the partitions
Created the 5GB partition on /dev/hd1, which is what I want.

Looking at the sizes of the individual paritions.

Total size of / root with /home is 36 GiB. Subtract 25 for user and that gives me 11 GiB. Making a root of 15 GiB.

Creating Linux partitions in remaining 122.22 GiB.

• Creating a swap of 4 GiB at the end of the current partition. This is because the old that was created for 1 GiB of memory was 2 GiB. I now have 2 GiB of memory so I am creating one for 4 GiB.
  
• Creating a / partition of 15 GiB.
  
• Creating a /home partition of 113 GiB. If completely reinstalling the users will need to be created in the same order.
  
• Creating a /boot partitions of 200 MiB.
• Creating a swap of 4.73 GiB.

Disconnecting the external drive so that its swap wont be used.

/dev/hda2 - ext3 /boot
/dev/hda3 - fat32
/dev/hda1 - NTFS
/dev/hda4 - extended
/dev/hda7 - ext3 /
/dev/hda5 - ext2 /home
/dev/hda6 - swap

The copy of a partition will take 14 hours.

Deleting and remaking.

Yes, this is a few minutes instead of a few hours.
