Default PartitionMagic 8.0 - Error 626 - please help

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?


You can get some partitions not visible at the dos level
that are visible at the Win level because Win does its own
scan for drives and the partitions on them at boot time.

PM 8 is pretty dinosaury. Acronis True Image allows you to do
that sort of thing from what it calls a rescue CD which is a bootable
Linux CD which may well be able to see the partition fine.
