Actually, my boot partition (c:) *was* correctly a separate primary
partition marked as active; it was the data and restore partitions that
had been unceremoniously lumped together.

Thanks, I will add this to my stack of bootable utility disks.

Really, I wouldn't be surprised if there are several applications out
there, other than the ones I tried, that actually work. What struck me
in my situation was how a relatively uncomplicated task, with a user who
was not a *complete* novice in technical matters, was able to cause
problems for so many respected programs, commercial and freeware.
