If you really need to fix this, then boot off any Linux LiveCD and look
at the hard disk using fdisk. Write down the start and end cylinders of
the Windows partitions, then delete them and recreate them with exactly
the same values. Use the fdisk feature to fix the partition order if the
order ends up being different to the physical position on the disk.
Nothing gets deleted, and fdisk puts your partition table into the kind
of shape it should be.

After this, you can safely ignore any bitching partition magic insists
on doing...
