Ah, you've got a 2nd thread.

Okay. You've got free space on cylinders 3826 up to 6935. And
unlike you wrote, Linux isn't on the last cylindes (there's your
/dev/hda3), but in the middle. As the situation is not like you
wrote, my advice was wrong.

With tools like gparted, you should be able to move the partition start of
partition /dev/hda4 from 6936 somewhat more to the beginning. To do this,
you've got to boot from a rescue/live CD and *NOT* mount /dev/hda3.

You could also create a /dev/hda2 and mount it somewhere.
