A partition table is a partition table, whatever is the tool you use to 
handle it. I didn't met your problem with size limitation but lost 
partition table and changed partitions tables on drives. For this, i 
used different tools, even proprietary ones, and never had conflict, 
except with Vista special partition (that has a bigger size than the 
actual disk size xD )

My two cents,
Jil.
