Partition Magic 8.0 can create Linux partitions (don't know about earlier versions). However if your HD is not NFTS but FAT32 you don't need Partition Magic. You can resize your HD with parted (type 'man parted' in a console to see how to do this). Then run the install script. This will start cfdisk which will let you make the partitions. But again, don't use parted on a NFTS-formatted drive. It could (will?) wipe out all your data.
