If you installed the demo version of their software and you get THIS error....then you should contact PowerQuest. sorry...but this is something that they should know about.

You should run it from DOS and it will work. Create the Partition Magic disks.

 

[waynejkruse10]

is there any alternatives to partition magic?

I think Acronis has something similar, although Partition Magic is the best.

what does the errors say. I can't read it

Why does everyone use Partition magic? cant you just use 'Computer Management' [right click on my computer then comp manage] to do the same tasks? Thats what Ive always done. Is PM better at something that Im not sure of?... p.s. im not trying to hijack this thred of course

^i dont think you could combine or split partitions without loosing data with computer management.

it says:
Init Failed: Error 117
Partition's Drive Letter cannot be identified
