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 to
a new 120 GB HDD (Seagate ST3120026A),
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?

The problem was that the two HDDs were placed on
two different channels, "Primary IDE" (source) and
"Primary ATA100" (destination). [My motherboard has
four channels, "Primary IDE", "Secondary IDE",
"Primary ATA100" and "Secondary ATA100".]

For some reason, PartitionMagic 8 is not able to
operate on HDDs on the "Primary ATA100" channel while
in DOS/Batch mode.

This problem was resolved by placing both HDDs on
the same "Primary IDE" channel.

PartitionMagic 8 (with a copyright year of 2002) rocks!
