Run 'FDISK', nothing will be done before you give the command 'w' in fdisk !
and you can keep away at any time.
So, keep in mind that the linux boot must be below the 1024st cylinder !
You can divide your HD in 4 primary partitions:
1. Linux native or dos (add a swap partition to linux)
2. dos or linux
3. dos
4. dos
After that you can setup the 'logical' partitions.
Type 'm' in FDISK for the menu.
Type 'p' to print what about your HD. etc....
For dos there is no more need for more than 1 primary partition.
In linux there must be at least 1 primary and 1 swap partition.
Give linux at least 4-6 G (depends what you install)
If you don't trust 'fdisk', run 'FIPS'.
Try it out.
