First make backup of the MBR (some Linux software save them elsewhere on
the disk.)
I used CentOS 6.2 DVD to partition Windows 7 partitons, amongst all
others. But take notice that regular CentOS DVD/LiveDVD has no ntfs
support so you will not be able to format them with NTFS. You can
however create them as FAT32 and re-format them from windows.
CentOS 6.2 DVD can also align partitions for new 4k sector HDD's
