I think I have a bad partiton table. I have Windows XP ( NTFS ) and SuSe 9.1 (ReiserFS) installed on the same hardrive. Both OS are running fine. Partition magic and Norton Disk Doctor reported my HD has partition errors even though I can access all partitions. I think it's because the software can't detect a ReiserFS partition. Is there a way to fix my partition table so I can use Partition Magic to resize my partitions.

Why not try something like parted to resize your partitons, perhaps the version of partition magic you have doesn't like reiserfs. I also know that the installation part of suse supports the resizing of partitions so you could try it by booting from the CD.
