partition table error #113

[Poinky Doinker]

Hi all,
I WAS having problems with a very slow startup. I then
formatted my HD and did a full recovery on my HP 553w Pavillion.
Since then I have found that the slowness was from a USB scanner
that is incompatable with XP. It has been unhooked. Now after the
format I have the problem of Partition Magic 8 no longer
showing my main HD correctly. It shows the HD as BAD. It worked
fine before when I resized one of the partitions. Far as I know
everything else "seems" to be working fine except the PM thing.
When I used the PM boot disk to try to fix the problem it gave the
error of "partition table error #113". Any ideas?

Thanks so much
Alan

Yeah, I did that but no error 113. They have about every
other error number but that one.

Gee. I just looked at the information that is installed on your computer
when you install P.M. It tells me exactly what error 113 is.

Ummmm yeah, I read that and was hoping for an alternative to
deleting the whole partition and remaking a new one.
There is a recovery partition also that holds all the recovery files.
Don't want to take the chance of screwing that one up since
I have NO recovery CD's and I am not that informed on partitions.
But thanks for asking.

hmmmm think I remember you from before.

Kewl thanks I'll check that ng out and see if they can help me too.
May wind up having to delete the C: partition in the end anyway to fix this.

You will have to delete the 2 adjoining partitions as they overlap each
other. Then create new ones and format them.

Thanks. Was hoping I could avoid that route.
Will have to wait till I get recovery discs from manufacturer.
Until then, NO way of reinstalling the OS and software.
Thanks anyway.
