You shouldn't have to manually partition the SD card, or allocate size
for it. The partitions are built into sdimage-new.dd, and the size to be
allocated will be allocated when you dd the image over (I believe it's
256MB). Once the image has been dd'd over to the SD card, you can use a
tool like Gparted to resize the partitions or create new ones, if you
need to.

Thanks for quick response.

I think you are right, the sd card I am using now has only one partition.

One more question, what is the size should I allocate the sd card? is
it something like : partition 1: 10 MB, partition 2: 10 MB and
partition 3 980 MB?
