Ron,
The left of the graphical display in gparted is the top of the partition table or the outside of the disk.
You want to wind up with hda1 being your Windows partition, and it being located on the far left of the graphic, and the first item in the list underneath the graphic.
I hope this clarifies the issue for you.
Fred
