How do I create a swap partition for hibernation?

While installing Ubuntu 11.10 a months ago I had not allotted any swap space, I now came to know that there would be no Hibernate option without Swap space.

Is it possible to do it Now?, What if the drives mess up? I have 4 gigabytes of ram, a 500 GB disk and I'm dual-booting with Windows 7.

You can use gparted to resize your partitions and make some space to a new swap partition. Although this works pretty good according to my own experience, before doing it, you should make a backup of all your files just in case.
