Weird Problem

im working on a pc that is going to be a file server for a small company. it is running windows xp pro w/SP2. has a P43.0ghz, 512ram, 160gb hard drive. i installed acronis true image v8.0, created a secure zone, and turned on the F11 recovery manager, and created an image. now i went to use parition magic to resize the drive and i kept getting these errors from partition magic stating that there were problems with the partition. i closed it and opened computer management and went to disk management and ever since i put acronis on this pc it now shows 4 paritions in total. 2 of the 4 paritions are correct. the other 2 i have no idea where they came from. of the 4 partitions, 1 is the system parition, another is the acronis secure zone, the third appears to be an exact copy of the system partition but its only showing up as an extended logical drive not actually a working partition, and the last one is an exact copy of the acronis secure zone but this space is showing as unallocated. so now in the bottom half of computer management it is stating that my hard drive is 298gb when it is actually only 160gb hard drive. i included a picture to help paint the picture a little better.

does anyone have a fix for this? i ran a checkdisk and that didnt fix it? any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated?
