Right. The "empty partition" you created was a DOS partition. Partition
Magic can't create Linux partitions. Just delete that partition (so there's
NO partition on the end of your drive -- if there's green stuff there, it's
not empty.) and wait until you're in Disk Druid to create your Linux
partition.

After you've all done with your Linux setup, you should be able to go back
to Partition Magic and see the Linux ext2 partition (pink, I believe) there...
