Just resize the file system on sda1 to 3GB (or another value which leaves enough space - just overcalculate here). Then make the partition smaller to the final size you want it to be, then re-erlarge the file system to it's final size. And another advice: Do NOT create the new partition(s), before you completed the TWO resize-steps.
