XP is touchy how the partitions are setup. If you are using partition magic to manipulate the partitions you have probably done some damage. But, booting from the XP Cd, deleting the parition, and recreating it should solve the problem. There should be about an 8MB free space not partitioned one you do this. XP is probably just getting confused because you used parition magic. Ultimately, you will need to back the data up to a different drive, then delete all partitions with the XP cd, reboot for good measure, then recreate the two new partitions again using XP setup. Transfer the data back as necessary.
