Yep, I see this all the time with PM - don't worry and just ignore it.
FYI, if you write down the exact partition sizes first then change them
and realize you've c*cked-up, as long as you haven't formatted them,
if you change them back to what they were and reboot, it will all come
magically back as it was (now that's what I call Partition Magic!)
I found this to my delight when I did this to my main drive instead of the
2nd (identical) HD I was supposed to be partitioning..
No guarantees, of course.
