You'll have to boot into the Mandrake install far enough to get to the partitioning point. (I don't think that disk druid will work, btw. fdisk and cfdisk will work fine.) You might also want to have a copy of the Slackware boot floppies on hand for just such an occasion. Look at ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware/bootdsks.144/README.TXT for a list of the boot disks. You should be able to find one that will work for you.
