Partition Magic problem Started by wishmd , Oct 14 2008 02:29 PM Please log in to reply 1 reply to this topic #1 wishmd wishmd Members 74 posts OFFLINE Local time:09:18 PM Posted 14 October 2008 - 02:29 PM I have Windows XP Pro on my computer. I ran Partition Magic 8.1 to resize partitioned drive d and e on one disk. The process froze, so I shut down and restarted the computer. Now apparently PM renamed the E partition as pqrp and partition E does not show up at all, neither does the data on E. Have been unable to recover. Downloaded PTEdit32.exe and tried to run it but that fails with error #5 starting PowerQuest Engine. Have not been able to chat with tech at Symantec, as their chat engine does not load. Help is much appreciated.

Is error #5 starting there any way this password XXXXX be reset? Share this conversation Expert: Tech Support replied5 years ago. Hi there! I'd be happy to assist you with this. Yes, there is a way to recover this password. It is stored in the TOOLS\AIMDRS.DAT on the hidden recovery partition of the computer. Depending on the age of the machine, you may be able to do this in the Disk Management console (Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc > Enter). Once there, look in the upper pane for a disk symbol without a letter. You can also find this on the visual diagram of your drive in the lower pane. It would appear as a block of your hard drive without a letter. If you find either of these, right-click and select Change Drive Letter, then click Add and select a drive letter to assign to the recovery drive. Once it is unhidden, look for AIMDRS.DAT in the TOOLS folder. Open a Notepad window (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad) and open this file. It will contain your password.Please let me know if you are unable to unhide your service partition (PQSERVICE) using the Disk Manageme
