Error 114 Partition
the Wiki Guide. More info... It is possible that, after installing Ubuntu Linux you get an error #114 in PartitionMagic. Some other disk managing utilitys like gparted and qtparted simply seem to crash on the disk. Because of the error, you can not use PartitionMagic to make any modifications to the disk. The error is not in the PartitionMagic documentation, and numerous web resources have info on the error, but they rarely give a solution. The error in partitionmagic does not seem to give any problems outside of disk managing applications, except ofcourse for the fact that it is impossible to alter your partitions. As far as I have been able to find, the error is caused by a problem with the numbers of the partitions. I got the error after creating a dual boot with windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. Before installing linux, I had a primary windows partition(number 1) , a logical partition containing my documents (number 5), and a bootmagic partition (6). As far as I know, the reason the logical partition was labeled number 5 is the fact that you can create 4 primary partitions on one disk, and that therefore, numbers one to four are reserved, logicals start with 5 and go on from there. I took a little from partitions 1 and 5, and made some open space in between, to put Ubuntu. I did a normal install of linux, using the disk setup the ubuntu installer propsed. It made the root partition, followed by the swap partition. The swap partition being numbered 7. So after that, the order of my partitions was 1 2 7 5 6. The partitionmagic error #114 was caused by the fact that the 7 came before the 5 and the 6. To my knowledge, the best solution is to find some other disk partitioning tool, that does not stop on this error, and use that one to delete the wrongly numbered partition. I am under the impression that especially lower level partitioning tools do not stop on the error. Things like an ancient fdisk, or windows XP disk management. Those programs you do not want handling your disks under normal conditions. I am yet to find out what happens with my linux instal

Partition Magic Error 114 and Linux Tags:partitionlinuxmagicerror sometimeslinux March 8, 2011 at 23:36:36 Specs: Linux Mint Partition Magic is not very Linux friendly. It seems particularly unhappy with ubuntu, of which Linux Mint is a popular variant.After installing Linux Mint, in place of an old https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitionMagic_Error_%23114 Mandriva install, Partition Magic 7 -- supposedly Linux filesystem compliant -- reports error 114. Oops, error 114 is not even defined in at least one PM manual. The entire drive is labeled BAD, even though it runs fine; no partitions are displayed. This seems to be a problem with an extended partition. I think it is a problem with certain Linux partitions and Partition Magic.My solution was to delete a tiny old swap http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/solved-partition-magic-error-114-and-linux/31031.html partition, using a free Easeus partition manager. (Another user said they deleted their last Linux-created partition, but this /swap was an older Linux partition in my setup.) Now PM finds error 116, again a partition boundary error. It has several 116's, but unlike error 114, it can fix them.Finally my partitions are back in order, showing the small unallocated space and all the partitions -- NTFS, FAT32 and ext2 -- in their proper places.From a search online, it appears that all Partition Magic error 114's are from those who dual-boot Linux and Windows. One guy commented he was using Linux to repair his drive, as if Linux had nothing to do with the error. See More: Solved!

It failed, because the "destination drive was too small."My system has some hard d

Advertisement DJ https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-harddrive-partition-problem-error-114.428467/ Masters Thread Starter Joined: Dec 27, 2005 Messages: 25 My system consists of dual boot Win XP SP2 and Linux, 2 internal harddisks (Disk 1 partitioned as C, D, and E, and Disk 2 with Linux partitions and F). I also have a network disk (NDAS) for backups. Two optical drives (an older DVD-R/RAM and a CD-RW). I use Partition Magic 8(PM8) to manage my partitions. Some time ago I noticed that Disk 1 was reported as having an error 114 error that was preventing me from doing any changes to Disk 1: Error #114: Logical starting at 33093963 is not one head away from EPBR. XP's Storage Manager finds nothing wrong. The error was not affecting the system in any other way so I've let it go. Backups, s/w access, etc were not affected, but I'm desperate to increase the size of the C partition. I searched the Symantec website and e-mailed them (since they own PM) without success 6 error 114 partition months ago. I figure that the only recourse is to reformat/repartition Disk 1. The D and E partitions contain easily backed up data, so my problem is limited to C. If I reformat Disk 1, can I use the backup from Backup myPC to restore the OS or will I have to reload everything from scratch? Is there a better way? I've backed up the entire system onto the NDAS and can write to DVD-R if necessary.
