I don't know about the qtparted live CD that you have, but with a live
gparted live CD [*] I used two three times already, I could do the following:
* boot an iBook's HD (that's a powerpc computer) in target mode via a
Firewire port, shrink the HFS+ partition and make partitions for a
Debian installation;
* expand an ext3 filesystem of an HD of a friend of mine;
* shrink a FAT32 filesystem with Windows 98 for my father and created
partitions for a Debian installation. Later, I copied the contents of
the HD to a larger HD expanded the ext3 filesystem and moved it around
(and the partition table was correct after all these actions).
I highly recommend it.
