I doubt that Partition Magic is needed! Better have a look at the
partiton table you have now and the one that didn't work and *learn*
from the difference! In particular pay attention to the partition
type. IIRC Windows NT doesn't grog the newer LBA based partition
types like E, F and C. Or was it B and C?...look...search...read...

Would be nice if you could inform us which types didn't work for you,
might save someone else some bugs.
