Default Experience with Partition Logic 0.61?


Am looking for an easy to use Partition Mgr... so did some searching on
this and other
forums.http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%...rt=0&hl=en&lr=&
Partition Logic was mentioned so downloaded it and made a workable
floppy.

Did not boot with first PC tried so fortunately had another and it
worked. So far I have tried it on 4 PCs that meet all the specs
http://partitionlogic.org.uk/about.html but only 1 has worked.

Am wondering if others have been have probs like this with it?

It seems to be very well designed and more user friendly than others I
have tried so if anyone knows of any tips or suggestions using it would
be very interested.

Thanks

Ken

It looks nice, but I wouldn't mess with my partitions with a program that
hasn't reached verson 1.0 yet. However, for partitioning, Ranish Partition
manager is a well tested and works very well. If you need some advanced
features (partition moving, resizing), [OT] you could try a no-nagged
shareware BootitNG, a great little prog.

Thanks for the tip! Checked the website and will try.
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html

Seems like the partition table has really been messed up. Am not
interested in any data on Hard Drive only get it back working.

Will BootitNG CleanUp the Partition Table?

Ken,

1) ANY partitioning program will - with the exception of the Redmond
crap. You can partition any drive that's working with any REAL
partitioning program.

If your drive is really broken - bad platter, bad head, bad
electronics - it can be fixed, but it's cheaper to buy a new one.

2) Terabyte writes good stuff. Download MakeDisk and follow the
instructions. You should have a formattable disk after that.

BTW, if you have no partition and ChkDsk is reporting files, you're
getting a false report. ChkDsk only runs on partitions, not disks. (A
disk is a physical thing, a partition is a logical part of a disk.)
