Setting partitions

I used the administrations tools to see that I currently have a
partition NTFS of 59,9GB and a partition of only 10MB where the BIOS
is installed. It is this partition that is not labeled. And I think
this is the reason why PM 8.0 gives the error 117.

Does the ubuntu install CD have parted/qtparted? IS it in the ubuntu live CD?

I don't have floppy suport, because my laptop doesn't have one. 

Thank you

Pau
