I've run into the same problems on a Mandrake 10.0 system (I wouldn't
use PM on a system with Fedora on it). I have a feeling Partition 
Magic isn't all that magical with ext3 partitions. I think there must
be something Linux fdisk (or Disk Druid) does that's legal, but 
freaks Partition Magic out. Previously I've looked in the manual 
for PM and researched the error messages with good results. The 
manual used to be very good with detailed info on error messages.
I don't have a current version of PM, so I'm not sure what 
documentation is like now. Partition Magic has been around for
a long time, and has helped me out many times, but it doesn't 
always work. They tell you to back everything up for a reason.
