I am using PQmagic 8 to resize the two partitions on my T60. I've been receiving error 100 "Partition table is bad" errors. what cause the problem and how to solve it? Thank you

Is one of these two partitions the hidden recovery partition? Do you have two partitions in addition to it or did you get rid of it?

Neither of the partitions is hidden recovery partition. I have two partitions in addition to it.

I've seen PQMagic 8 do that before. Sometimes letting it fix the problem worked and sometimes it destroyed the partition table. I don't know what to recommend here.
Does the drive work correctly right now?
Maybe a different utilty would not show this as a problem?
Why are you changing the partitions?

The drive works correctly. I am changing the partitions because one of them doesn't have much space left.
