Not sure about the Qtparted error. I haven't seen that one before. All I can suggest is that sometimes you just have to undo and redo old partitioning. But yes, you can make partitions in the console using the cfdisk command. I generally prefer the graphical interface of Qtparted, but I remember one time when it was giving me a hassle trying to erase some partitions, and cfdisk did the trick. If you ever used DOS tools like the old Norton Utilities, cfdisk has a similar interface.
