Ok, here's what I see on the HDD... looks like the music partition is installed as hda1, with an extended partition (hda2) next that contains root (hda5), the rio mystery partition (hda6) and finally swap (hda7).

The full space (300G) is used by the partitions.


Would this work?

Get another drive. and initialize it for the central.
install it in a linux system as hdd ( for example)
with the original 300G as hdc
Re-partition hdd.
Create partitions of the same size pointing to different areas of
the disk so that hdd5 is in the 1st 137G area.
Use dd to copy the old 300G drive (hdc) to the new drive (hdd).
dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=/dev/hdd1
dd if=/dev/hdc5 of=/dev/hdd5
dd if=/dev/hdc6 of=/dev/hdd6
dd if=/dev/hdc7 of=/dev/hdd7
