I am trying to setup my computert so it can triboot with SuSE,Fedora Core and Windows.I have been trying to do this for a while but need some questions answered to help me.

1.Can QTParted create extended partitions and if so can it create ext3 partions inside of it?

2.How can you create 2 Logical partitions in an extended partition?

3.Is it best to resize ntfs,swap,extended or resize ntfs and delete swap and extended?

4.Can an LVM partition be overwritten with a ext3 partition?

1.Can QTParted create extended partitions and if so can it create ext3 partions inside of it?I haven't used QTParted much, but I'm sure it can.

2.How can you create 2 Logical partitions in an extended partition?You don't create extended partitions, the partitioning program does that for you, you just tell it to create logical partitions.

3.Is it best to resize ntfs,swap,extended or resize ntfs and delete swap and extended?I'm not sure what you mean here, but I don't think it matters, though it may depend on what exactly you want the end result to be.

4.Can an LVM partition be overwritten with a ext3 partition?I haven't used LVM, but I don't think that will be a problem.
