I should add that I have currently installed BIBM because under its regime I am having fewer problems than under BING. But of course I am prepared to reinstall BING any time should this be required.

The funny thing is that there is 2 MB free space in front and a 6 MB free space at the end which suggests to me that they might have formed an 8 MB free space originally. I cannot imagine what might have brought about such a strange layout, which obviously causes some issues like “device inaccessible” messages during certain boot-time operations and failure to boot from that hard drive any restored OS’s.
Is there a simple way to recombine the 2 MB and 6 MB blocks of free space mentioned or should I just shift the Extended to the beginning or resize its front end in order to take up these leading 2 MB?

If the drive starts with an extended partition (as it sounds like your
HD1 drive might), it is normal to see a small amount of free space at
the beginning of the drive, and there's nothing that can be done about
that. For the end of the drive, you would normally resize the last
partition if you wanted to get rid of that small bit of free space.
If you want to clarify your situation, you could post a partinfo listing
of your hard drives, using the free Partinfo utility that you can find
at the link below. From Windows, it's easiest to use the GUI
(partinfg.exe) version:

Also, you should clarify if you're using BING (BootIt NG) or BIBM
(BootIt BM), since you are posting in the BIBM group, but yet you are
talking about a feature unique to BING (image partitions).
