I'm trying to create partitions on an 80Gb HDD using PM7. Have Bootmagic 7 loaded as well.
Trouble is, no matter what combination I try, logical or Primary, active or no, ext2 or NTFS, as soon as PM7 enters DOS mode and starts to apply changes, the system reboots.
I previously had the Grisoft AVG6.0 anti-virus software installed and thought maybe it was detecting an attempt to write to the HDD and so stopped it, but I've since uninstalled AVG6.0 and the problem's still there.
Only thing on the HDD atm is WIN98 and a few small apps, was hoping to divide thus:
WIN98: 30Gb
Mandrake 8.2: 10Gb.
WIN XP: 10Gb
MP3 storage: 15Gb
Pic storage: 15Gb.
I've also deleted the Grisoft folder AVG6.0 left behind and tried disabling BootMagic, still no go.
I'm a bit stumped, anybody any ideas?
