Don't know why this is... But check how big your other partitions are
using gparted. As Steven says, this is the old way of doing things. I
too always use LVM these days and there's a nice graphical tool:
system-config-lvm if you're fazed by the command line :) And of course
if you're on a live system do the things that Nico suggested.
