I did something similar but it went terribly wrong!

Basically I was setting up a brand new laptop (Windows XP) and by the
time I had pretty much finished I noticed that everything was
installed on one partition. I generally prefer to have a second FAT
partition just in case things go wrong, particularly on a laptop.

There was not data on the machine, only about 4 hours worth of
installation and setting up so decided to risk it and repartition from
knoppix via qtparted.

The rest is history!
