I'm copying this to microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion.

For future reference, for questions and issues that touch on windows 98,
I recommend you include that newsgroup, because it's pretty much the
only active win-98 group on usenet these days.

My system is running Win98SE.

I have PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8.0 installed.

When I try to copy a partition, I get the following error message:
"Error 626. Operation is to be performed on a hard drive not visible
from boot-mode."

You might want to look at this:

I guess Norton bought / owns PowerQuest?

Anyone know what's wrong?

Are you cloning a partition from one drive to another?

I recommend you find something called "Hiren's boot disk" or boot cd.
It's on the internet in various locations. Easy to find and download.
It's a bootable CD that contains dozens of hard drive utilities and
programs. It will do exactly what you want.

And you might want to poke into the win-98 discussion forum on msfn.org
once in a while. Lots of good stuff happening there regarding win-98.
