Odd. Anything on that partition yet?
Why fat32 then for storage? You'll lose about 4 gig using fat32 on a drive that size.
I hope you mean it's NOT hidden ???Originally posted by Livy@18 December 2003 - 16:16

dunno, i think i done it using fdisk, then never got round to converting it to ntfs. because i didnt use the old computer much., i usually use my laptop as it was better than old computer.Originally posted by balamm@18 December 2003 - 23:37

there is about 50gig of data on it, it was used as a 2nd drive on my old system. which was win2000.
weird, i just used the split command in partition magic, and juts moved one folder onto a new logical drive within the extended parition and its acesible, ill try recovering all the data that way and delete the old logical drive.
not sure if this is of any use but i think if you use a ntfs and fat32 with xp ntfs can not see your partion or write to it. either use ntfs or fat32 not both.
that is my finding when trying to expriment with either one. so now i just use fat 32

nah, cant be i had a fat32 and ntfs drives on my laptop. and my old win2k system was the same.

i think i have it now, i split the partition, and moved everything aprt from one folder with my psp8 files(my bro) to the new partition, converted it to ntfs. deleted the small partition with the psp files, and resized the new parttion so it took all of the extended partition.

I SINCERELLY advize you all to use Acronis PartitionExpert
instead of pmagic.
i have tried both - Pxpert is seriously faster, better, efficient and no fkng glitches as i found in Pmagic
this is not an ad this a time and life saver.
( ok. it is simpler)
There where 4 copies on kza+serial last time i looked
Did you know that acronis will not install on a server OS? No matter what you try, it will not.
Did you know that OS/2 warp 4 won't recognise a partition created by acronis?
Why is that do you think?
Maybe cause they know it's not good enough to be trusted
It's always good to consider these things.
The discussion is about volume manager, the server version of PowerQuests partition magic, not the desktop garden variety.
