I would agree that is the safest way to proceed, although the 
repartitioning of the hard disk as outlined by somebody else would 
certainly work.  However, even here I would urge you to have a complete 
backup that you have verified is usable before you start.  Makes that 
sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize you've just partitioned 
the wrong drive much less ugly.  :-)
