Yes, but it is best to do it from a standalone environment. I recommend
downloading and buring a Knoppix CD (or DVD).

(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php)

On the knoppix live CD you can use the QTparted utility. This has a
similar interface to Partition Magic. Both use the underlying gparted
libraries. There are some caveats depending on how you laid out your
system. Remember that their is a maximum of 4 physical primary
partitions on PC hardware. On Linux these are labeled as hda[1-4].
Where hda is the first physical disk. (Newer systems use the sd
instead of hd. You can have a large number of logical partitions.
Normally, I just set up my HD a 1 large extended primary partition, so
that every partition I use is a logical partition (hda5 through hdan).

BTW: Red Hat 9 is ancient.
