Portion magic ruined external drive
I was using partition magic to create a new partition on an external
drive. While rebooting the computer froze and I had to unplug it. My external drive is "corruptable or unreadable." Portition magic says error 7 "operation canceled by user" occured. How do I fix this. Can I? |

You may have caused the problem when you shut the PC down. Some of PM's
operations must be done in DOS and if there are big partitions or complex operations involved, the PC may appear to crash but really has not. I don't think the drive was ruined but you may need to start over and repartition, etc. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "30t5" wrote in message oups.com...
