Welcome to PCMech.
What version of Partition Magic are you using? The newer versions are, in general, better equipped to deal with it.
How do you have your hard drive partitioned. You mentioned that you've got 4 partitions, how are they laid out?

The general answer to your issue lies in the use of diskpart command line utility from an XP console. (greater detail of your partition schema will help you get better solutions). Microsoft : details on diskpart.
I would highly recommend you run diskpart from a recovery console of XP rather than from a system that is booted up.
