[Gllug] Partition numbering

Not about linux at all (well I'm hoping a linux tool has the answer
but otherwise).

Is there anyway I can renumber partitions on a partition table without
loosing data?

I'd like to play with a few operating systems on one machine (a laptop
so multiple disks aren't practical), they are varieties of windows so
I don't think it's easy/possible to have them co-exist without seeing
each other?

I'd like (preferably using lilo or more likely something like fdisk)
to make hda3 -->hda2 and hda2-->hda3 or something similar?

Is this possible?  What would I use?

hda1 is the boot partition and runs lilo....which will then boot me
into linux or windows...
