Now wait a minute... you don't really have to lose anything, I don't think.
First, you can double-click on that "lost/deleted" partition to see what's in it. In other words you can Explore it, and confirm that it's usable and contains Windows as you expect it should.
Then, you can use Partition Wizard to COPY a partition in its entirety to another location (free space on some other drive). So you could copy off the (a) "system reserved" partition and (b) "recovery" partition to your MyBook or somewhere, and then you could recover this "lost/deleted" partition. You don't have to fear losing these two now, since you have them copied to another drive.
Then you could then use Partition Wizard to resize/move the recovered lost/deleted Windows partition, to create unallocated space on this drive, and then you could COPY BACK those two previously saved partitions, and you would have reconstructed all three usable partitions on this drive.
Now you still then must mark the "system reserved" as "active", in order to be able to boot from that drive.
This sounds plausible, and PW is the right tool. You just need to copy off the two partitions you currently do have, to ensure you don't lose them when recovering that "lost/deleted" partition.
That's my thought.
