I was using partition magic to merge 2 partitions. But that process finished with an error.:(

Restarted PC, and now all of Partition 2's data is moved to partition 1, and partition 2 has turned into a "extended partition".

That extended partition is unusable and I can't seem to change it to anything else with the tools.

Its 80gigs of lost space. but at least I didn't loose any data.

Is there a way to claim back that 80gigs?

Here is (www.theeldergeek.com) a little info, albeit a little iffy to understand
