now the immediate thought was resize the partition...but i cannot seem to do so in MDK 9.2

for future references...when i install whats the best way to partition the drive so that this never happens?:

39 gig for home? Geez, unless you download a bunch of useless stuff or have a bunch of users, you don't need that much. Maybe half and half for home and /. Give / at least 10GB. Did you do a full install? If so, get rid of all the useless stuff too.

Or better still, have only one huge partition for Linux and one 256 - 512 MB for Linux Swap!

True ;) I usually only make /, /boot, and a swap, but that's because I have another HDD. If you use your home dir heavily and/or don't want to lose your personal settings and you reinstall a lot, /home partition isn't a bad idea.

qt parted, and there is another one that has slipped my mind. They all allow you to resize various partitions, i believe the one i'm forgetting even does NTFS resizing.
