A couple of points: - This will be lots easier and less painful if you do it all in pass from a LiveCD (though Knoppix is my favorite, I'd recommend the Ubuntu LiveCD since it suppors LVM--see next point) - Save yourself some trouble and setup LVM and then create a single volume group and put your logical volume on that.
