thats fine... you can do it all by using the OS X system installed on your 500GB right now.

It would be more ideal to remove the 1TB drive and use the OS X install DVD to create the images of the HD to be placed back on the 500GB drive (assuming you have the room). If you don't have the room then use the DVD to at least create an image of the OS X partition because you can do the rest from within a running OS X system for the other two partitions.

By using chameleon, you won't get a traditional bootloader... if you don't press anything during the countdown it will automatically run OS X. Likewise, by pressing any key during the countdown, you can see a list of the partitions (via their names, not by which system is installed) so name accordingly.

Reply back to let us know how smoothly it went.

EDIT: Aydinz, for sake of simplicity, yes... there are plenty of places this can pitfall, but doing it right has worked numerous times for myself just by using Disk Utility and the chameleon installer once in the system. Remember that a timed-out Install DVD bootup will allow you to get into the 1st partition actively flagged as well.
