Two primary partitions (which have O/S on them), and two logical partitions (for data). I want to allocate more disk space to my main C drive by taking space https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/error-2003-file-size-does-not-match-fat-allocation-for-file-125562/ from the data partitions. However when I try to do this in Partition Magic, it comes up with the following error message: "Error 2003. File size does not match FAT allocation for file." The primary partition that I want to add space to is an NTFS partition and the two logical partitions are both FAT32. Thanks.

Other things to try: -- Run ScanDisk on the affected drive. -- If you are using Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, use CHKDSK /F to repair the invalid size entries in the FAT. There are also a number of third-party utilities that can repair this error. -- If you receive this error on a Windows XP system, turn off the System Restore feature. To do this, click Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click the System icon, click the System Restore tab, and place a mark in the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" checkbox. -- If you are also getting a DOS 4/GW error, click here for more information.

It may fix it right there or it might tell you it will fix it upon the next boot. The second error, 938 is probably because of the first one :P. Just follow the Chkdsk thing and you shouldnt get it anymore. __________________ Intel i5 750 @ 3.8GHz | Gigabyte GIGABYTE P55 UD4P | 4GB G.Skill 1600Mhz | Xigmatek Dark Knight | Sparkle GTX 260 Click Here To Add Me To Your ICQ List My Avatar Folding@Home 25000 Points Milestone commando View Public Profile Visit commando's homepage!

When attempting to create a User Backup the system reports the following error when creating the image: Error 2003 File size does not match FAT allocation for file -- or -- There may also be an error message regarding lost clusters. Symptom When attempting to create a User Backup the system reports the following error when creating the image: Error 2003 File size does not match FAT allocation for file -- or -- There may also be an error message regarding lost clusters. Cause Drive Image is seeing a misreported file size for a particular file in the File Allocation Table (FAT) of the partition that is selected to hold the backup. Resolution Run a Scandisk if you are using Windows 98 or ME. Run CHKDSK /F from a command prompt if you are using Windows NT, 2000, or XP. This must be run on both partitions for this solution to work correctly. Retry the Backup and the error should go away. Published: 2/13/2002 LastUpdated: 8/20/2002 Article Type: FIX
