I never heard of that happening to a 20 gb drive, are you sure the drive
is 20gb?

Are / and /var the normal size?
You can tar up the /home partition (put om /)

then shut everything down that might be using the /home partition.
umount /dev/hda4 (home partition)
Use fdisk to delete the home partition and create a new /home partition
run mkfs ext2 on the partition
mount the /dev/hda4 then untar the saved tar.

or

run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdn (n being b, c or d)
then run the restore again.

or

as Bill is going to say use partition magic...
