Partition Tables

I'm currently using Mandrake 9.1 -

A while back I tried to install Gentoo (numerous times without sucess) it was setting up of my my partition tables that I had the problem with.

I dual boot with windoze 98 using Lilo.

Can I just use my partition tables that I set up in Mandrake, and carry on with my install from there.

Tia

yes, a friend of mine found it easier to set up his partitions under a graphical environment (partition magic) and then install gentoo on them.

just remember to format them yourself in the gentoo install (mkswap, mke2fs, mkreiserfs, etc).
