partition magic screwed up!! what is pqrp partition.

[meanguy21]

hey there, i was resizing and moving a linux partition.
sadly it was taking along time with parition magic. i left it alone doing what it was doing . when i came back. the screen was black and nothing was working. i had to wait for atleast and hour
but when i came back, nothing has changed. i restarted the pc. my linux partition disappeared. except there is a new paritition , in yellow, called PqRP . in the help menu, it says

PqRP Partitions

If your computer fails during a PartitionMagic operation, you may see a partition that displays as PqRP or PQFLEX in the partition list in the main screen. PartitionMagic flags a partition with a PqRP file system and a PQFLEX label, so you know that the partition has been modified. You should assume that a PqRP partition is not stable.
