Yes, that should be possible since they're contiguous. Partition 1
ends at cylinder 12616 and partition 7 begins at 12617.

If you can unmount everything on the drive, do that and then use
"swap -d" to turn off that swap area. Then just use format, make
partition 1 10MB smaller, make partition 7 begin at the the cylinder
after parition 1, then make partition 7 as big as possible.

By doing this, you will lose all the data on partitions 1 and 7.
That doesn't matter for partition 1 since it's just swap, but if
you have anything important on partition 7, you need to make
arrangements for that.
