Ok. Good luck partitioning a disk in any sort of way with Yum.
 
Sorry to come in, 
But you can use another livecd to partition the disk (gparted,systemrescue,knoppix,etc) and pre-partition it and then use the new livecd and just install it to a preformatted partition, ext2,ext3, etc.  Anyway with Anaconda, one cannot resize NTFS partitions, we still another type of cd to perform these actions.
