Well, if you get frustrated and want to try another tool, try Acronis
Disk Director (US$50).  I use it and like it.

OK Russell thanks. One of the interesting things Part. Magic
does is generate an autoexec.bat file that does not do
anything until  you reboot your computer.
That is when you get the surprise error messages.
You think everything went fine until you reboot
the computer and that is when you get the bad news :)

Acronis has you build a bootable CD, then boot from that.  So the hard
drive is not in use by the OS while you're manipulating it, which is a
good thing.  The downside is if you have some really funky hardware
Acronis' boot loader on the CD might not understand it.

Sounds better to me.
