Unfortunately, this doesn't help me. I need the extra space to install applications, and in my experience applications don't react well to not being installed on the primary hard drive (i.e the one with Windows). This is a ridiculous problem to have; people upgrade to larger hard drives all the time, no?

I use thus setup since ever and had never problems installing programs to other drives. Unfortunately, windows still isn't able to edit partition tables in the way you would need to. New installs just create the system-partition first so that the unallocated space comes directly after the 'real' partition. You can try creating images with dd and then dd to the new drive in a different order, but i don't know if that works.
