You could use gparted > http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

I too use gparted to create the partitions then I install PCLOS with the selection to "use existing partitions".

You did not tell us enough to give you a better answer. We do not know how big your drive is or what operating system/systems are currently on that drive.

Please tell us a little more. I am a bit worried about your singular use of partition.

gparted is ok, but I have found another disk partition manager that I like better ... ALICE.

You can get it here.

It has been able to successfully help me manage my disk partitions when gparted failed.
