Partitioning and installing windows problems

Hi everyone.
I have a problem. i recently bought a toshiba m70 laptop and i was using partition magic t partition it into three parts.
part 1: ntfs -windows xp
part 2: fat32
part 3: fat32

and i went to reformat them all into fat 32 so i could install debian onto the laptop and it all went hay wire.because toshiba has given me a crap recovery cd i can't partition with that and i have no program to do it with and i can't make a fdisk because the laptop doesn' have a floppy.
and debian dosn't want to install because it can't read the media and xp doesn't want to install because it says theres insuficiant space.

i need a partition program that i can boot from cd and fix this all.
your help is so so so appreciated thanks everyone

Or check out bootdisk.com - they have a lot of good resources for boot CDs and floppys.
