You would likely need specific software to modify these sectors without causing harm - like Partition Wizard or the like is my suspicion...

Yes, quite likely..

I was thinking to omit that top partition (so everything would fit on 250GB drive without gaps, this would mean no reset to factory settings), or maybe the best solution would be simply to use larger drive (I have Crucial 1TB ) and allocate the rest of space for separate data partition.
