parition magic "BAD" partition

After a long moral struggle of deciding what to use as a desktop OS (used a mixture of FreeBSD and Linux for apps that bastards make that don't run on BSD properly). Although I prefer BSD I am migrating to gentoo because I simply can't have two desktops and I need a number of apps which run incorrectly on BSD.

Here is my disk layout:
Disk 1 (80GB): [70GB FreeBSD ufs2][10GB XP ntfs]
Disk 2 (80GB): [50GB Linux Ext3][30GB shared ext2]

I want my disk layout to be:
[80GB Linux]
[50GB XP][30GB shared]

I want to move and expand my XP parition so I don't have to reinstall all my crap, but parition magic says my (whole) disk 1 is of parition type "BAD". Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Not use partition magic?

Try whatever partition tool comes with your linux installer.

As perspective said, nothing wrong with using the tools you get with your Linux install.. Since you are going with Gentoo, you have your choice of fdisk, and I believe they even throw cfdisk (a slightly more friendly version of fdisk) onto the install image - both of these should do just fine for you.

I would just use fdisk but that can't move my ntfs partition :(
I may just have to wipe and reinstall.

I had been planning on reinstalling everything but windows crap (which I hoped I could just move) because all the registration and such is really annoying.

partition magic is the only program I know of that can resize NTFS partitions. If it's having problems with your disk, then you probably don't have any options other than repartitioning your drive.

ntfsprogs can actually resize it, so that wouldn't be a problem.

edit:
Well I don't know why I didn't just copy my windows partition to where I wanted it before (ntfsprogs can copy, just not move) so I have that all sorted out.

I however have a new problem, my mbr for disk2 seems to be screwed up or something (maybe it's ntldr). I can boot to the new windows partition from disk1 (which still has my old 10GB win partition) but when booting with disk2 ntldr never comes up. I ran fixmbr \Device\Harddisk1 and fixboot d: but my knowledge of windows isn't that great (and that stuff didn't fix it), anyone have ideas?
