Partition Magic/again

[Norman_21]

It seems that PM 8.0 has a problem with a computer that has two NTFS partitions?
If one partition is NTFS and the other one is FAT32 it works fine?

Joe,

Also, like I said, you need to run the liveupdate for Partition Magic. Go here and apply the patch:

Hope this help.

Hi Latif, first of all, thank you for your patience. I have only one NFTS file system one C drive). I tried to download that patch, but mid way I get an error message (see attachment) I shall also sent a screen shot of my startup menu because it seems to me that it does not display all the programs that come up at the booting of the pc and some that I do not know about.

Howdy,

There was no markings on the disk drive when I took it out and looked. So I moved the jumper from being horizonal to vertical across the 2 pins nearest to the


It worked fine.

Good Luck,

Rob

Hello,

Interesting Mr. Rose!

Joe,

As far as the attached picture. I would suggest that you keep only the printer as well as the Microsoft Office and remove the rest?

Start>Run>msconfig and untick the unwanted programs..

Hope this help

Thanks for the info Rob, but I finally took it to a computer shop and had them recover my OS, and partition the hard drive. Everything works fine now.

Hi Latif, thanks, I will uncheck the remaining un necessesary programs.
