Hello,

I want to install longhorn on my pc. I run Partition Magic 8, and all is ok since I reboot

Partition magic cannont find the "boot sequential" and I have to hit a key to continue I hit the reset and reboot, the same screen with Partition magic and hit the reset again....................After I hit the F8 and choose load the last known good configuration and all is ok, but I don't have my new partition <_<

Any help ?

Thanks

Sorry, I don't use Partition Magic beacuse it has fucked me many times.

Good luck getting it figured out.

I would make a ghost though with norton ghost or something before you continue incase everything its totally messed up.

cya,
Will

@bads - couldn't find any reference to
boot sequential in the PDF file for PM 8

Any chance that you have a dual boot set up already?

Richard,

I don't have have a dual boot

I just check with msconfig and my boot.ini is correct

I wish I could help you, but I don't use Partition Magic. I don't even have a partition on my HD.

I thought I'd reply here and if nothing else bump you on the front page for others to see and help.

yeah, I have not had alot of luck with PM either; I was gonna do the same thing; that is partition my XP machine and try Longhorn, but I had the same prob when trying to make another partition..

Still checking around to see if there are any other "easier" partition proggies!

@bads
just wondering whether you had another version/instance/install of PM? Have you tried uninstalling PM and reinstalling it on C:\ and rebooting several times before trying to creat another partiton?

@wase4711 - have you looked at this one?

I will retry to make my partition and see what is exactly the "message"

You're in trouble. PM8 has Fked up your MBR. I never did figure out how to edit the MBR so I had to do a low level format! I now use Acronis Partition Expert.

Good luck!
