Be careful with Odin if you've never used it before. If you don't do it right, you can brick your phone with it. I don't think I've ever seen this "set partitions" thing you mentioned so I don't know what to make of that.
I recommend you thoroughly review this
[GUIDE] Using ODIN to flash your Epic 4G Touch (windows only) - xda-developers before you go flashing anything.
A few key points ...
1) If you haven't done so already, you need to install Kies, so that your computer has the necessary drivers to work with Odin
2) You will only be flashing .TAR files in Odin (.tar.md5 is okay too .. the md5 is just a checksum) under the PDA section in Odin
3) The ONLY boxes you want checked are Auto Reboot and PDA
4) Check the PDA box, click the PDA button and locate the TAR file on your computer you're going to flash
5) Boot your phone in download mode (Volume Down and Power at the same time), volume up to confirm then plug your phone into your computer. If Odin recognizes your phone the far left ID:COM box will light up yellow and show a COM Number (the number doesn't matter).
Assuming you've done all of the above you're ready to hit the Start button and hold your breath while you briefly panic wondering if you if did something wrong.
Again, take your time and make sure you have a handle on it. It's easy to use, but also easy to brick your phone if you don't follow the instructions.
