If you are going to reformat, just start new and fresh. Because I haven't looked at your screenshot but that WILL wipe all data on that partition.

Then I have learned from Huckleberry Finn that MBR (also called msdos) is the way to go after all. I think the safest thing is just making this swap partition.
