OK. I've downloaded GParted bootable CD (so what' s the purpose on having cfdisk?) and it looks great; so now, all what I need is to resize the following partition

and I'll have two partitions, let's say hda1 and hda3: I can resize them to 17GB each.
Do I need a new swap area for the new partition which will be occupied by the new OS?
Any suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks
