Before you do anything, I suggest you read the System Administrator's
Guide section about disk management, or nothing I say will make sense to 
you. :-)

I'd use the GUID (I think you mean GParted) thing and put a single 
partition on the drive that uses all of its space.  I'd make that an LVM 
PV (physical volume) and either add that to an existing VG
(volume group) or create a new VG and place it in there.  From there,
you can carve out LV (logical volumes) of any size you need.
