Everything else is working normally. All of the programs run, I can access all of the partitions and the computer boots without any errors.However, I need to re-partition my old http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2499900 HD and partition my new HD as I don't have enough space for Linux (old HD) and I want my new HD (20 gigs) split into partitions. I originally setup the partitions using Partition Magic.Whenever I try to run PM I get the following error: Init failed: Error 100. Partition table is badI tried fdisk /MBR to see if that would fix the problem, but it didn't. I've since upgraded to XP Pro and discovered that Partition Magic 6 will not work on the NTFS file system. So, I'm going to pick up a copy of PM7 this weekend, as it is compatible.If it won't work either, I guess I'll have no choice but to wipe all of the partitions as well. It will be a tight fit, but I can probably get all of my files into 20 gigs. ;o) · actions · 2002-Feb-14 6:19 pm · vkrjoin:2001-04-03Terra vkr 2002-Feb-14 6:26 pm As I stated earlier, fdisk /mbr won't fix the problem, since it doesn't touch the partition table.Try Partition Magic 7 and hope for the best. It may be able to handle the condition that Partition Magic 6 can't.Personally, I'd evacuate all data off the drive and clean install.Getting a partition table error would cause me concern. I'd hate for the proble
