Perfect. Now, make sure you have enough room in the new partition to hold everything currently in /home:
# du -sk /home

Ok then, the final thing to worry about is to make sure nothing has a lock on any files under /home. If you are logged on as root, and no other users are logged on then you should be good (root's home directory is not under /home).
Now just follow the directions in the previous note but use "/dev/hda7" where I originally said "/dev/hda3" starting at the:
# mv /home/* /mnt/disk

Did the "/home" partition mount?
# df -k /home
Are the directories right on it?
# ls -al /home
P.S. Why can't you use Mozilla when logged in as root? root's $HOME directory is not under /home.

Type:
# mount /dev/hda7 /home
Then check your /etc/fstab, you must have made a typo in it.

You must have moved /home into /mnt/disk instead of moving "/home/*" to /mnt/disk. Type:
# mkdir /home
# mount /home
# ls -al /home
If the above works and you see a "/home/home" directory then my suspicions are correct. No problem, just do:
# cd /home/home
# mv * ..
# cd ..
# rmdir home

You have no access to Linux? How's that? Did you f00k up your /etc/fstab and the "/" filesystem is not mounting? If so, did you try booting in single user mode and fixing it? C'mon, this is the way you learn. Don't reinstall, that's a cop out.
