FWIW, I've had bad luck with using Partition Magic more than two or
three times on a drive. I just don't even use it any more.
Also, I've had bad luck using MSW-side software to do anything with
the partitions after *BSD partitions are cut. MSWindows can't seem to
obey its own rules.
If you have to dual-boot, cut the primary (BIOS-level) partitions
once with MSW (and PM, if you must), then leave the BIOS-level
partitions alone. Better yet, use two drives.
