Disk druid should do the job, i myself have not tryed disk druid i always
use 'fdisk', there is no reason why you should not be able to create 2
partitions on the drive providing the old partitions are deleted first.
Just as a suggestion try to return the 5.2 version to the place where you
brought it and get 6.0 its certanly worth the trouble i can assure you.
BTW; in the install you can use a shell, it should be on alt-F2
There you can use fdisk manualy, (if needed).
