Newbie help how to enlarge root partition

I'm the guy that recently dd'd hda (40GB) to hdb (160GB) and then put the larger drive in the first position, making it now the new hda. I knew I would then be using only 40GB of the 160GB HDD. I thought it would be easy to enlarge the 40GB root partition, but this newbie is having trouble wit
