Is there a way to make the main partition extend above the original point?



I created ubuntu-installer with unetbootin in my c disk along my windows, and installed ubuntu in my e disk which was empty, during installation i managed my partition so i can retrieve my files from windows,everything worked fine i installed my ubuntu managed all my files and then deleted the c disk/windows primary partiton and the system reserved, all other data and updated grub so now i run a simple ubuntu system with no dual boot or unetbootin loader, but the problem is i have this sda1 and sda2 over my sda3 iba linux partition, or sda 1 sector stars at 2048 and extends till sda 2 sector sector and sda 3(iba) starts at the end of sda 2 which is pretty clumsy.



or should i set the 57gb primary partion(sda1) as my swap and 500mb primary partion(sda2) as boot. All other partition within my sda3(iba) extended is logical
