Unpartitioned space needs to be available or reclaimed from other 
partition removal/resizing.

Most operating systems are capable of setting up partitions to run their 
native schemes. You do not need to pre-allocate the space with special 
tools which are not native to the OS you are trying to setup. You just 
let each OS handle their own formatting and partition sizing. Downsizing 
or growing filesystems is an exception though.
