Don't worry about LBA48. If you have a disk larger than 2GB then just make sure you enable large disk support in fdisk when and if you are asked. Also, check out this guide for using FDISK...I've used it more than once.

As spec_ mentioned above "partition magic" is the "premier tool" for managing disk partitions.

Now, one thing to note is this: if you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP you can use Disk Manager to create partitions, volumes, and other fun stuff. To get to it, simply follow these steps:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. In the run box type "diskmgmt.msc"

Try these guides for using disk management tool in windows:
