- 1. Partitions recognition errors on the hard drive.
- =============================================================================
-
- In some cases Partition Manager generates error-messages
- during startup (for instance Partition Overrun), although disk was
- re-partitioned with standard tools (FDISK). Other errors can be detected
- also, for example, some formatted partitions are recognized as unformatted,
- or Partition Manager denies to modify partition detecting file system errors.
- In such cases Partition Manager does not perform any changes in partition to
- avoid any data-loss. Some previous versions of Partition Manager really had
- some problems with big hard drives (more than 8GB). These problems were due
- to incompatibility of some combinations HardDisk+BIOS+Operating system and
- they are removed in the last version. We have tested practically all modern
- hard drives with our software.
-
- In some cases such a error (like "Partition Overrun") is not caused by our
- program incompatibility. It can be the case when partition was created on
- another PC with different BIOS which interprets hard drive in different way.
- There can be rounding problem, when one BIOS sees more cylinders that other
- one. To use partitioning utilities in such cases hard drive should be
- re-partitioned. If you still have similar problems, run Partition Manager
- with option /LOG in command line: PM.EXE /LOG
-
- Note: If you run Partition Manager from the floppy disk, string running
- Partition Manager in AUTOEXEC.BAT should look like: PM.EXE /LOG.
- Floppy disk should not be write-protected.
-
- After that try to perform operations which are not working. When error
- message occurs, exit from the program. In directory where
- Partition Manager resides, you should find the file PMLOG.TXT.
- Send us this file to support division (support@paragon.ru),
- then we will help you to solve your problem.
-
- If you are using not a last version of Partition Manager,
- download update from the site http://www.paragon-gmbh.com.

- 2. How to make correct bootable disk for DOS Partition Manager
- =============================================================================
-
- To create bootable diskettes with product component(s) use Diskette Build
- Wizard utility. You can start it from the product program group.
-
- However, you can create diskettes manually with special bat-file.
- See file PREPDISK.BAT for Partition Manager diskette and
- file MKFLOPPY.BAT for Rescue Disk.
