Hello again everyone, this thread concerns hard drive partitioning.
I am trying to partition one of my 2 hard drives on my WinME machine so that I can intall Win2000 on the partition and use dual boot (actually, I allready use dual boot -GRUB- because the machine has redhat on it).
So, last night I tried Partition Magic 8 for the first time. After letting it simmer for about an hour, I went back to my computer to see many error messages, all variations of this:
Note that the screen was full of these messages and each time some of the numbers would go up by one.
So, I forced the machine to shut down. I turned it back on, and suprisingly everything seems OK. I have a new drive (E just as I wanted, that's 4gb large and I can save things to it just fine. Now, it's REALLY hard for me to believe that everything is really OK. Should I be worried about anything? I have Norton Utilities 2002, so I could run all of it's programs...
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: For what it's worth, I just ran scandisk on E:, but it did not find any errors.
