Ohhhh, this statement makes me concerned. That drive could fail at any
minute. The absolute best thing to do here is to 

1) make a backup of that data
2) do a test restore to make sure your backup is good
3) if it's that important, duplicate your backup off-site
4) reformat how you want
5) restore to the newly-formatted larger partition
