Windows 7 Partitions

My son has a HP probook 4520s laptop with windows 7 and rather than
have the stress of dealing it I'd like to repartition and have dual
boot Linux.

Running parted shows:
Number  Start   End    Size    Type     File system  Flag
 1      1049kB  316MB  315MB   primary  ntfs         boot
 2      316MB   302GB  302GB   primary  ntfs
 3      302GB   318GB  16.1GB  primary  ntfs
 4      318GB   320GB  2143MB  primary  fat32        lba

As the starts and ends don't run in sequence I guess that parted (2.3
on a Porteus-v09 live CD) does not understand the disk. Will it "just
work", or how can I fix this?
Yours
Ian
