Using DiskDruid , first delete your 2GB partition which is non-Windows.
Then add, in order, /boot (32 Meg is too big), swap (min 64 Megs) and

There are gurus who prescribe, and quite intelligently so, that you
should have separate 
partions/mounts for /usr/var/home but as a newbie.. go on with just /
containing everything.

That should coast you fine.
If you have messages saying out of disk space, allocate a smaller
quantity to / and check the box saying "Grow to fill ?"
