As can be seen in the attached slice of Disk Manager, I've got a harddrive that beats out even Seagate's new 750GB harddrive for capacity. Unfortunately, it's really a Maxtor 200GB with a problem. Somehow it's come to think of itself as a 2048GB drive with three partitions defined, and a bunch of unallocated space at the tail end (just beyond the actual 200GB end).
Is there a way to correct this without having to destructively FDISK the drive? There's nothing on the first two partitions, but I have a bunch of backups on the third partition that I don't want to lose. I can still access them, but other operations against the harddrive behave peculiarly (chkdsk fails to complete, Acronis True Image reports unreadable sectors when analyzing the partitions, etc.).
