Hello Max, i think you don't need Partition Magic. If my calculations are correct it looks as if it would be possible to copy all files from /dev/sda6 to /dev/sda7 (with copy -dpR) and then you have to change your fstab. After testing if everything is ok you may even go further and do the reverse with /home on /dev/sda7. In any case it is a good idea to have a Linux Boot-Disk prepared and tested. A backup too is advisable before changing your system. Not long ago i was in about the same situation and after reading and testing it worked fine for me. enjoy linux Bernd Mayer PS: You are responsible for your files by yourself.
