Storage: Partition Magic 8 Bootable Problems
Partition Magic 8 Bootable Problems
by FirefoxBrowser - 5/7/06 10:08 AMI have a self-built AMD Athlon XP 2200+ Desktop with 512 MB of Memory, 40 GB Maxtor IDE HDD, SAMSUNG DVD-ROM, LG 52x32x52 CD-RW Drive, and Windows XP Pro. But I want to resize my partitions on the HDD through Partition Magic 8 Bootable, but when I reboot with the CD in the drive, it stops for 5 seconds on Boot CD:, and then I go right to the Windows XP boot menu (Choose Windows XP Pro or Windows Recovery Console). I tried it on my backup copy and it still doesn't work. Why?
Is that a CDR copy?

Some machines have issues booting from CDR media. Try the factory made CD of Partition Magic.
Tap Y (yes) when you see the cdrom boot prompt. *Varies with boards but try this.

My old P3 866 did work with the disc. They are CDR copies
I think you found the issue.

Try the original factory made CD. Some machines will show a tendency to not boot CDR.

I tried Knoppix Boot CD

I tried another CDR that would work fine, the Knoppix 3.9 CD.
Which only shows your knoppix is OK.

I'd use the original factory version of PM now.
Bob
Have you tried creating the PM disks as floppy disks ?
