At least twice, I've had partition table errors after using DiskDrake on partitions created by PM. It appears that there is some slight incompatibility between the way PM creates partionions and DiskDrake. Most of the time everything works the way it should, but occasionally the table gets hosed. If you just resize your Windows partitions and then use the free space, this might not happen (I don't know). But, don't create linux partitions with PM and then re-allocate the space within them with DiskDrake. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that point. e.
