are those bootable,as the whole drive is used and i only have linux installed i need to get a program that can resize an active ext3 partition or it would have to be bootable as to not set the partition active.and as i said i dont have windows installed.

See this page for 'install instructions - and yes, it is a bootable image, and does not have to be 'installed' per se.

See this page for the program's capabilities regarding *nix partition management.
