i have just resized a partiton on my hard drive and added a few more, and it seems to have worked. no lost data and i have been using the partitions heavily over the last day without incident. goodie.

but now i have some (easy?) questions i would love to get answers for.

when i ran partition magic (for the first time since repartitioning), it said it found a bad entry in the partition table. yikes. how serious is this?
it was only one entry, and the program has fixed it for me. should i continue to worry or should it be good now that the error has been fixed?
does that mean it may not be a good idea to repartition my harddrive again? (if i want one more partition)


and another question if you dont mind. what is the deal with primary and logical partitions? (i used to know this stuff, but its been a while)
right now i have 2 fat32 partitions in the primary sector(is that the right word?) as well as a swap partition for linux. i would imagine i should move my data (non OS) partition into the logical/dos area, but what about my swap or soon to be linux(fedora) partiton, should it stay in the primary sector with the windows partition?


i know this is a lot of questions, but id love it if you guys could answer what you can. thanks
