I can't fix my harddrive with partiotion magic

[ScottyB_]

My partition magic software says I have a bad partition. When I try to format it PM says partition error #113. I really need to get this fixed.

I'm not sure about partition magic, but don't you just delete the partition, create a new partition and THEN format?

I installed linux on my system but the partioning tool on it messed my partition table up. there is like 8gb that it is taking up. I need to have a program or something that will completely wipe my drive into a fat 32 partition. I tried creating the rescue diskettes with PM but they won't load.

I've gotten similar messages on Partition magic....what version is it?

With an error code, you can goto the PowerQuest website and find out what's going on....


When I've had this problem, only thing I could do was reformat the drive....for some reason PM couldn't read the drive correctly.....


Since yer trying to format the partion I would do the following.

With PM, delete, create, then formation the partition.
If you can't with PM, use FDISK and delete the partition. Now run PM and create/format the partion...this should work.


Good Luck..

I got that errorcode when I tried to format a Drive that was bigger then PM could handle.
limit was 8 gig in PM3 .
