Hi,
Got a PC here running XP Pro that used to have a 2nd partition and Boot
Magic was there which gave you a choice at boot between loading XP or
going into the image.
The main partition was full-to-bursting and the 2nd partition held an
image of some sort. I've deleted the image partition and amalgamated
the new space into the primary partition using Partition Magic 8.
When the PC now starts, I get the following error message after the
usual:
Verifying DMI Pool Data......
-.¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Error finding BTMAGIC.IMG
Run BootMagic install
Press a key
If you press a key, XP loads normally with no errors.
If you try to install BootMagic, the install fails because there's no
FAT32 partition. I don't want a FAT32 partition.
Where on the hard disk, in the startup process can I find the "Error
finding BTMAGIC.IMG?
I've run MSCONFIG and found nothing and I've scoured the Registry.
I'd really like to get rid of that error message without wiping the
hard drive and starting again.
Any help really appreciated. Thanks.
