how to adjust the partion size of ubuntu 6.06?

[zhihang wang]

the partition about my harddisk is as follows:
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        3825    30724281    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3            7210        7296      698827+   5  Extended
/dev/hda4            6939        7209     2176807+  83  Linux
/dev/hda5            7227        7296      562243+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6            7210        7226      136489+  82  Linux swap / Solaris


Partition table entries are not in disk order


I have only one harddisk.
I installed xp on hda1. I installed ubuntu5.05 on the other space first.
Because it doesn't support my video card, I installed ubuntu6.06 on the
harddisk. Now I want to delete the ubunt 5.05. So I delete the partion from
cylinder from 3826 to 6938, which you can see from the partition list. Now I
can't assure which partion(hda5 or hda6) is the swap partion of ubuntu6.06.
I also want to delte the swap partion of ubuntu5.05 and I want to adjust the
partion so that the disk space beside xp should all be used for ubunt 6.06.
Would you like to help me?

Can you help me?
