HardDisk Partition Error
A quick Google gets you to this site:
http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-...magic-8-a.html All have the same problem as you are experiencing. Partition Magic 8 doesn't run on Vista very well so that may be the reason. The main consensus is to use CHKDSK to solve the problem. In order to do that, do the following: 1/ Click the Start button 2/ In the Search box type 'cmd' (without the quotes) 3/ When the 'cmd' file appears at the top of the start menu, Right click it and, from the drop down menu, click on the 'run as administrator' option. 4/ When the command prompt window opens type: 'chkdsk /f' (again without the quotes) and then press Enter 5 You will see a message which says, 'Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? Y/N' Type 'Y' and then press Enter 6/ Now restart your pc to allow chkdsk to start. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
