XP CRASH BUT RUN IN SAFE MODE AFTER LINUX PART.

[Guest]

I sorry for my english i'm italian: no Italian newsgroup has reply to my
post(((

yesterday I have installed Partition Magic 8 and done a resize of C: (I have
also a LITTLE D: fat16 of acer..).

After the resize I have installed a linux distro in the new free space and
a grub multiboot. All ok for now. Only I had to edit my boot.ini to set the
right partition for windows (from 3 to 4...the problem hal.dll not found...)

However, in the first step windows loading graphic goes up but all freeze
after some seconds.

In safe mode I was able to enter: A LOT OF NeW HARDWARE FOUND! Everything
from video to controller etc...!! A lot of hardware conflict.

Now I solved every conflict installing the right driver for each one (before
xp worked perfectly..mah......)

Now XP in normal/debug mode start but after 10 seconds after login it found
other hardware and go in DUMP (it doesn't save the dump...!!!)

In conflict I have these hardware:
1. Controller floppy disk standard (I don't have a floppy..is a notebook
acer tm 803)
2. Unkown peripheral even on Controller floppy disk submenu
3. Controller host SCSI/RAID

I tried to disinstall..make disable..etc. but nothing these conflict come up
again and windows still found new hardware (controller floppy or scsi..).


THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Marco,i heard from hardware guys that Partition Magic v8 has many bugs
and v7 was much better.
Maybe bug in v8 is problem.

Maybe but now I have to solve .. Now I don't need to use pm8, however it
makes all the change without disk problems (chkdsk..)
