1 I have a laptop and when I initially setup the partitions I
2 anticipated that I would install Windoze along side of Linux for
3 gaming purposes, I now realize that this is never going to happen and
4 would like to change the partition type from NTFS to Linux Native. Is
5 it possible to do this without hurting the other partitions on the
6 disk? I really can't afford to re-format/re-install the whole machine
7 right now.

9 The partition structure looks like this:
10 hda1 -> NTFS (unformatted, want to convert over to Linux Native + ext3)
11 hda2 -> Swap
12 hda3 -> Linux Native (formatted ext3 with Gentoo installed)
