Partition Magic 7 Error #4444

Partition Magic 7 Error #4444

Postby Odais » Mon Jun 27, 2005 9:24 pm

Though all my drives are working fine I ran Partition Magic 7 today for the first time in 2 months and there was something strange on it.

I have three partitions on my computer, C: (primary), D: and G: (extended logical). In PM the drive labels usually appear beside the letters. But now it doesn't show the labels, it shows:

C:?k?
D:GAMES
G:?

PM 8 has some trouble with the way that LH sets up the HDDs including not being able to see free space, so I would imagine that PM 7 is the same way.

C:\ would be your system drive, so LH would have messed with things on there, and g: is your LH drive, so that would obviously have been modified by LH. :yesnod:

It's normal, though you may have some problems if you need to change your disk configuration, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. :yesnod:

That's a relief to know :yesnod: . When Partition Magic says that there is something wrong with your computer then it's time to be just a little bit worried :-?

I ran it but without the /F parameter. Do you think I should run it again with /F? :unsure:

EDIT: It didn't give me any error messages the first time I ran it.

The /f is to Fix errors.

Okay. I'll try that.

EDIT 2:34 AM

I ran Chkdsk /F on all the drives. When Windows had restarted and reloaded I ran Partition Magic.

The error had disappeared and all my partitions were working properly again. Chkdsk must have solved the error. Which is good, 'cause I'm hoping to put in a new HDD and now I can use PM's partition copy to duplicate the partitions properly.

Thanks for all the advice guys, you've all been great :yesnod:
