Windows partition damaged

[curlyg]

I just finished installing Ubuntu, and as luck would have it, my Windows partition appears to have been damaged. I'm fine with that, since it was a relatively recent install and I've already salvaged all of my important data. What I'd like to know is: is it possible to completely reformat my Windows partition and allocate the newly freed up room on my hard drive to my linux partition, without reinstalling Ubuntu? If so, how?

Yes you can grow one of your Linux partitions with the live CD
