You can't use diskdruid to repartition doing the installation. 7.1 is so long ago I don't remember the details. I thought it had automatic partitioning and if not it certainly had manual partitioning and in either case that is better than partition magic. Also be sure you install XP first.

For what ever reason I am unable to have Linux do the partitioning again
this is Redhat 7.1 does this matter.
