Choice 1: Just use parted with your favourite interfaces, command-line, curses, GTK, QT, ...? Choice 2: Make just one LVM partition which you can then use via LVM2 in any way you like (parted also speaks LVM). Then use grub-pc (grub2) to boot your system. (Or if you insist you can use lilo as well). One advantage of the second method is that you can resize your logical block devices later as you find you need less/more space. In this case the static "mbr" can be retired along with Windows!
