I've been using Partition Magic for years (since v2.0) with DOS, 
Win95, Win98, OS/2 and linux and it's never screwed up for me.
Doesn't mean it can't happen; just that I have no direct
experience dealing with partitions that PM has screwed up.  But
since the Partition Table Editor is a separate, stand-alone
program I suspect it would have as good a chance at fixing
damaged partition tables as any other partition table utility out
there.
