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! "Adam" wrote in message . com...
