Resize disk partition in Ubuntu

My box is Dell Optiplex 320. It's dual operating system with Windows XP and Ubuntu. Because I need more disk storage in Linux, I must resize the disk partition to move the disk space from Windows to Linux.
Firstly, shrink the Windows disk partition to get some unallocated disk storage by PQmagic.
Secondly, install and run the GParted likes PQmagic on Linux. Please follow this document http://gparted.sourceforge.net/. Generally, it need run GParted Live to resize root(/) file system.
Thirdly, after resizing the partition, LILO is failure. We need Ubuntu Live CD to boot the computer and follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409345 to re-install LILO (re-run the lilo command).
