Another approach would be:

http://www.sysresccd.org

Its shipping with many common tools like parted, partimage, mkfs and
among them qt_parted. I'm using it to repartition/rearrange any drive I
encouter (Basicly as a good frontend for parted and partimage). Its
independable from the operating system and can be used to work on any
file system.
