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.
