I'm installing from Ubuntu.
Does anyone know of a tool that allows for duel-partitioning a harddrive on Linux?

Quickly...

As jefro say's pendrive good idea I once used a memory stick (flash drive) and installed the littlest linux to pendrive much smaller to carry around than live CD. Its called Damn small linux
Or why no download mepis it already runs from CD and not install

fdisk

fdisk is a dos command that allows you do many things with a hard drive prior to installing any operating system. It is also a valuable tool for repairing compromised hard drives.It is a windows tool with many uses,I hope this brief explanation, answers your query.
I would like to hear from Owndapwn how he is progressing with his problem
