PowerQuest(R) PartitionMagic(R)<br /> Version 8.0<br /> <br /> <br /> You may find it helpful to watch the PartitionMagic Flash tutorial <br /> before using PartitionMagic. You can display the Flash by clicking <br /> Help > Flash Tutorial from the PartitionMagic main screen.<br /> <br /> <br /> TABLE OF CONTENTS<br /> -----------------<br /> 1. Back up Your System!<br /> 2. General Usage Notes <br /> 3. Known Issues - Windows NT/2000/XP only<br /> 4. Known Issues - Windows 9x only<br /> 5. Uninstalling Windows Me<br /> 6. PowerQuest's Storage Manager Newsletter<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM!<br /> -----------------------<br /> Remember to back up your hard drives before using PartitionMagic.<br /> While PartitionMagic has been thoroughly tested, power failures, <br /> operating system bugs, and hardware design bugs can put your data <br /> at risk. BEFORE USING ANY UTILITY THAT MAKES SUCH EXTENSIVE <br /> CHANGES TO YOUR HARD DISK, YOU SHOULD BACK UP YOUR DATA.<br /> <br /> To back up your system, we recommend using PowerQuest Drive <br /> Image(R). Drive Image is a disk imaging tool that lets you create<br /> an image of your entire system that can easily be restored. <br /> Having a backup lets you run PartitionMagic with the security <br /> of knowing that you can get your system back up and running <br /> if you run into problems.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2. GENERAL USAGE NOTES<br /> ----------------------<br /> <br /> - PartitionMagic does not support Windows NT Server or <br /> Windows 2000 Servers.<br /> <br /> - Be aware that there is no undo (after clicking Apply) if you <br /> merge two FAT or FAT32 partitions. You must be particularly <br /> careful not to merge two primary partitions that include <br /> operating systems, as your computer will not be bootable if <br /> you do.<br /> <br /> - Progress bars are an estimation only and may pause for several <br /> minutes, even though PartitionMagic is still working correctly.<br /> If you think your computer has locked up, please be patient and <br /> allow PartitionMagic to finish the operation.<br /> <br /> - You should set up removable media drives so that they are the <br /> last drives on your system. Drives are assigned priorities as <br /> follows: primary master, primary slave, secondary master, <br /> secondary slave. You should not have a fixed hard drive <br /> set up as the secondary master if you have a removable media <br /> drive set up as the primary slave. If you have two IDE<br /> controllers, you should connect removable media drives to <br /> the second controller, after any hard drives. If you have a<br /> RAID configuration, disconnect any removable media (such as <br /> a Zip drive) before using PartitionMagic. If you do not <br /> configure removable media drives as the last drives, you <br /> will see disk numbering inconsistencies in the PartitionMagic <br /> interface, and the wizards will not work on your system.<br /> <br /> - Bad Sector Checking is OFF by default. PartitionMagic ships <br /> with bad sector checking turned OFF by default. Modern hard <br /> disks are designed to avoid bad sectors automatically. <br /> However, if you feel that bad sectors may be a problem on your <br /> system, turn on bad sector checking (by unchecking the <br /> appropriate boxes in the "Skip bad sector checks" list box in <br /> Preferences). Turning on bad sector checking ensures that data <br /> is not moved or copied to bad disk sectors; however, this <br /> causes the create, move, and resize operations to slow down <br /> considerably. Another way to verify that there are no bad <br /> sectors on your disk is to run the operating system check <br /> utility (CheckDisk or ScanDisk) and do a surface scan before <br /> launching PartitionMagic.<br /> <br /> - A non-Asian language version of PartitionMagic should never <br /> be used on an Asian language version of Windows NT/2000/XP, <br /> as this may cause corruption of filenames and partition/<br /> volume set labels.<br /> <br /> - You cannot use PQBoot for Windows (a utility included with <br /> PartitionMagic) unless there is at least one primary <br /> partition on the first hard disk.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3. KNOWN ISSUES - WINDOWS NT/2000/XP ONLY<br /> -----------------------------------------<br /> <br /> - PartitionMagic does not support volume sets, stripe sets, stripe <br /> sets with parity, or partitions located on disk mirror/duplex <br /> sets configured using Windows NT Disk Administrator. Under <br /> Windows 2000/XP, PartitionMagic supports standard partitions <br /> located on basic disk sets only.<br /> <br /> - In a configuration with mixed IDE and SCSI hard drives, Windows <br /> NT does not always see the boot drive as the first physical hard <br /> disk. PartitionMagic displays drives in the order Windows NT <br /> reports them. As a result, you may see your boot device as Drive <br /> 1, 2, and so forth. This does not cause problems for <br /> PartitionMagic except when setting a new active partition. Also, <br /> PartitionMagic may incorrectly report that there is no active <br /> partition on your system. To change your active partition, be <br /> sure that you identify which drive is the boot drive. <br /> <br /> - You should not change the drive letter originally assigned to <br /> the Windows NT/2000/XP boot partition (the partition where Windows <br /> is installed). Changing the drive letter to anything but its <br /> original designation will cause severe boot problems and may <br /> cause your computer to be unbootable.<br /> <br /> - Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, if you perform operations <br /> on partitions that include mount points, you must restore the <br /> mount points after the operations are complete.<br /> <br /> - Error 183: Init Failed. If you attempt to run PartitionMagic on <br /> a Windows 2000/XP Professional machine where the boot partition<br /> (the partition where Windows 2000/XP Professional is installed) <br /> is on a dynamic disk, you will receive the following error message: <br /> "Init failed: Error 183. Unable to identify the Windows partition." <br /> To solve this problem, Windows 2000/XP must be installed on a <br /> basic disk.<br /> <br /> - Error 184: If you encounter error 184 when initializing <br /> PartitionMagic, run Disk Administrator (Windows NT) or Disk <br /> Management (Windows 2000/XP), then start PartitionMagic again.<br /> <br /> - If the System Restore feature of Windows XP is monitoring a drive, <br /> PartitionMagic cannot perform operations on that drive in Windows. <br /> Instead it must drop down to boot mode to perform the operations. <br /> The operation will still be successful. <br /> <br /> - To uninstall PartitionMagic under Windows XP, you must be logged <br /> in as the user who originally installed the product. If the user <br /> account has been deleted, you must remove PartitionMagic <br /> manually by cleaning out the PartitionMagic install directory and <br /> registry.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 4. KNOWN ISSUES - WINDOWS 9x ONLY<br /> ---------------------------------<br /> <br /> - On a computer with a dual boot, if you have more than 20 <br /> partitions, you may not be able to launch PartitionMagic from <br /> Windows 9x.<br /> <br /> - If you create an NTFS partition under Windows 9x, it will be <br /> created with NTFS version 3.0, which is not compatible with <br /> Windows NT 4.0. To create an NTFS version 1.2 partition that will <br /> work with Windows NT 4.0, run PartitionMagic under Windows NT 4.0 <br /> or from the rescue disks and create the partition.<br /> <br /> - Under Windows 9x, PartitionMagic and the operating system may assign <br /> different drive letters to USB, USB2, and FireWire drives. This <br /> problem is a result of the inconsistent way the operating system <br /> assigns drive letters for removable devices. If the drive <br /> letters appear differently in PartitionMagic than they do in "My <br /> Computer," PartitionMagic can still work on the removable drive.<br /> <br /> <br /> 5. UNINSTALLING WINDOWS ME<br /> --------------------------<br /> If you use PartitionMagic (or FDISK or any other partitioning<br /> software), you should be aware of the following Microsoft warning.<br /> <br /> IMPORTANT: You should not attempt to uninstall Windows Me if the <br /> partition information for your hard disk or disks has changed <br /> since you last installed Windows Me successfully. Windows Me <br /> creates a backup copy of your partition information in the <br /> Suhdlog.dat file at the end of a successful installation, and <br /> Uninstal.exe restores the partition information listed in the <br /> Suhdlog.dat file to your hard disk during the uninstall. If the <br /> partition information on your hard disk or disks has changed <br /> since you last installed successfully (specifically, since the <br /> Suhdlog.dat file was created), then you might experience partial <br /> or complete data loss as a result of attempting to uninstall <br /> Windows Me.<br /> <br /> <br /> 6.
