In fact this is what I did:
In the terminal:
>sudo su
>apt-get install gparted
or alternatively/easily used the Synaptic Package Manager to install the utility
(I also downloaded the LiveCD version of Gparted (around 52MB)
I resized my HDD2 to 5GB to be allocated as swap space. Then concerning the formatting of the other 35 GB as FAT32, I got the error msg: Kernel Read bla bla bla
When I restarted in Windows, I was happy to see the unformatted 35GB.
But why Windows does not recognises the 1 GB swap space and 40GB ext3 partition?
My next blog post will be on Installing a suitable IDE in order to be able to complete the labsheets.

Linux made my NTFS partition to disappear.
