I have this same thing. Those partitions were legal according to Hoyle. 
Something changed them.

I have lived with this condition with no problems but would like to fix it. 
Anyway, Linux can read/write them all with no problems. Windows works with 
its partition and does not need or touch the others. Tools like 
PartitionMagic and QTParted, however, will no longer work.
