OR you could get super lazy like me and go to the following link:

http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/

...and download a version of Qtparted (about 30 MB) with it's own self-running
Linux OS (Vesa video driver)..

This has become part of my tool kit and I even have it on a mini-CD. Slap it
in a CD drive and boot -- shows you everything and eliminates any problems
with configuration when you're running a full-blown Linux. Looks nice too!
