Be CERTAIN that you do not change the partition naming of your current partitions or you'll have a trashed system. If, for instance, you add a partition BEFORE your current ones, all the labels will change. Add new ones AFTER your current install. FWIW, IMHO, if you've never done this before, you may want to try it on a non production machine first.
