Why don't you delete all Linux partitions leaving them as free space and
let linux installation find the free space and create the partitions it
needs.

OK I got Patition magic 8 and created a second NTFS type partition(size 
11,695.7mb).  ParitionMagic says I can install a Linux OS on this.
However 
when I go to install am told that I need a Native Linux Partion or some
crap 
and I can't figure out how to make an area for a swap file for the neew 
Linux OS. This is all while inside the Redhat7.1 Install screens.
