You should have a backup of that data anyway.

Any manipulation of partitions...you NEED a known good copy elsewhere.

We see this almost every day
"oops"
"oops"
"oops"
"oops"

And if you have that, just delete all partitions, merge into one large space, and copy the data back.

I posted that quick command prompt guide due to the fact of people who clone drives with some unstable free H-D cloning applications in which would sometimes fail inturn would create corrupted partitions that require override delete commands of protected files. simply just a note link.
