  If you're going to go the route of partition table manipulation: If
the Windows partition is first, you can just delete and re-create the
partition table entry.  The contents of the partition will be left
unchanged.  Not that that helps Kjel any.

  Another option would be to buy the updated version of PartitionMagic
(or some other tool).  Not a fun idea in my book, but sometimes worth
it anyway.  If you're running Windows, you're already in the payware
world... :-/
