I have Lunix Mandrake 7.0, how can I increase the size for a partition?, but first how can I check the size of the disk installed and the free space in each one?

If you still have Microsoft Windows on your system, you can try a partitioning program like Power Quests's Partition Magic 6. It will allow you to resize any partition on your system with little or no hassles, as well as the size and free space in them.
