I guessed that the Restore partition would be OK as the partition information is at the start and would not have been affected by anything Partition Magic had done. As Ghost could see all the partitions and data I did a Ghost image of each of the three current partitions: dell utility (1st on disk) restore (2nd on disk) and the Vista OS (3rd on disk). I did not have access to any other disk utilities so tried a different approach.

Thanks for the replies on this and sorry for not being able to reply sooner. But atleast you can give it a try to move further before going for a complete backup. It may or may not work depending upon the type of merge/repartiotion you have done. This way, you may get a chance to recover them safely.

Use that partition utility from which you can see all the partitions and then again try to resize them to the nearby sizes you were having previously. But for this you will need some good maths skill in order to allocate the exact/nearby size to the partitions which you were having earlier. It will work all good.ДЄnother option to repair this may be in repartitiong the hard drive again. So, if you have some good stuff on your system, better back it up first and then go for 'Factory Restore' option. The 'Factory Restore' option you said earlier will just erase the complete data on your hard drive and may even re-partition the drive into a single drive as the case may be. And any section overlapping or overlaying onto others will result in loss of data. Partitions are basically a wardrobe kind of thing where you place your data. In its saying because you somehow accidently merged two different partitions with overlapping boundaries. (No data on it to worry about as it is intended as a test/training PC.) Haven't yet tried the complete 'Factory Restore' option as I don't know for sure just how much will be wiped and how much recovered but hoping to find another option first as all files are clearly still intact. How can some programs see everything in all of the partitions but the partition management apps can't access some of them? And, more importantly, any suggestions to recover this? Tried with a separate Paragon Partition Manager 8.0 recovery CD and that said both C: and are unavailable due to crosslinking of the boundaries. However, Partition Manager 5.5 (the version on my Bart CD) says the Vista partition is unavailable but OK. Partition Manager Explorer can also browse all three partitions. The A43 file system utility can see everything on all three partitions. Running a copy of Norton Ghost showed that the Vista partition could still be seen. Boot options can access the utility partition OK as the diagnostics can run. Rebooting proved the suspicion that Vista partition no longer worked.

PM then finished loading and gave an error #105 (overlapping partition boundaries) and refused to do anything further with the disk. I ran Partition Manager 8.0 which said it had found some errors and offered to fix it which I OK'd. Initial setup was the Dell 32MB utility partition, 9GB Recovery Partition (drive ) and the remainder of the 160GB disk for drive C: with Vista. Wanted to repartition so I could multiboot for training purposes. I have a Dell C521 which did run Vista Home Premium OK.
