I have had no problems with either task.
I have deleted,renamed and created new partitions with
disk druid, including leaving windows partitions alone.
I have also switched to a virtual terminal to do some
maintenance as well starting the install CD in rescue
mode with out any problems.
I have no idea what your missing, but with a question
toned like that you probably won't find it here.
