Default PartitionMagic 8.0 - Error 626 - please help

"Adam" wrote in message

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."

This error message occurs when PM8 goes into
DOS to execute operations in batch mode.

Anyone know what's wrong?

Svend, where are you?


What partition are you trying to copy? What drive is it on? Is it an
IDE drive, or is it a SCSI or USB drive? Where are you copying it to?

What happens if you try the copy operation using the Partition Magic
Rescue Disks instead of Windows-mode Partition Magic? Do the rescue
disks "see" the drives and partitions involved?

It's possible since you were running PM from Windows that another
application interfered or modified the disk.

It's also possible if it is an IDE disk, that you have it jumpered
incorrectly.
