repartitioning?

[setfree]

I recently bought one of those teach yourself Linux books to get started with Linux. It came with red hat 6.1, so I started reading through the book and it said before I started I needed to have a seperate partition from my Windows partition, so using one of the tools that came on the cd I split my Windows partition. The only problem is I made my windows partition to small. (like I had 150mb free space) I wasn't sure how to change the partition table back so I put in a Windows setup disk and deleted the partition. Then I realized that you can't just delete it cause Windows will recognize that space as being used, so I ran Norton Disk Doctor and it found a bunch of lost clusters near the end of the disk and it move them all back, now when I go into my computer it displays the right size. Im sure theres another way to do this so thats what im asking. Btw I have Windows 98SE on a 6gb hard drive.
