Just be careful.  I'm not sure how the formatting, etc is going to behave
with those partitions out of sequence like that.  I don't wnat you coming
back upset when something else gets formatted.  I'd rather see you use
pdisk's "r" function and get the partitions numbered in sequence, before
letting diskdrake touch them.  I just tried it here on my HD, without
committing the changes, and it nicely moved my former partition 19 to 10,
pushing everything else out.
