Hossein, the trick of adding a value (usually 10) to some partitions
type fields helps some boot managers to handle conflicting issues of
booting different operating systems. System Commander has done this
for quite some time, with expanding support for Linux and other OS's
Partition Magic may have found it useful/necessary to do the same.
If the system boots properly, just forget it.
