I was playing with partitions on my hard drive using Partition Magic 8 and I made some mistake. After creating and resizing partitions I rebooted and tried to run Partition Magic 8 but I received error Init failed error 117 partition's drive cannot be identified and wasnt able to run Partition Magic. Could you explain me to what to do because I need to run Partition Magic to make some more changes on my hard drive?

This is a known issue that can happen during Partition Magic usage under Windows. If this error is sole issue then Partition Magic can be run successfully. Just run Partition Magic from DOS or DOS mode. You can create rescue disks in Partition Magic by going to Tools-Create Rescue Disks and this will create DOS Partition Magic disks. Boot with this disks and do any changes you like.
