I've not used cfdisk for some time. It would appear it's command
repertoire is somewhat limited. Afraid you're going to have to go with
something else - bite the bullet and load the ubuntu live cd - it should
have sufficient tools, and if it does not have gparted then you may be
able to install it. Try an 'apropos partition' once you get it up to see
what might be available.
