I don't know about the qtparted live CD that you have, but with a live gparted live CD [*] I used two three times already, I could do the following: * boot an iBook's HD (that's a powerpc computer) in target mode via a Firewire port, shrink the HFS+ partition and make partitions for a Debian installation; * expand an ext3 filesystem of an HD of a friend of mine; * shrink a FAT32 filesystem with Windows 98 for my father and created partitions for a Debian installation. Later, I copied the contents of the HD to a larger HD expanded the ext3 filesystem and moved it around (and the partition table was correct after all these actions). I highly recommend it.
