of the root directory is set at the time the partition is formatted, and errors such as "disk full" or "root directory full" will occur when the capacity is exceeded.
Each file in the root directory takes one entry. Long file names take an additional entry for each group of up to 13 characters. The drive volume label takes one entry. Hidden files in the root directory take entries. The current number of used entries is shown, followed by the current capacity.
Click on the New Capacity up and down arrows to change the number of entries, or use the up and down arrow keys to change the value. The value changes by the amount necessary to preserve the current cluster alignment. Any number you type will be rounded up to the next legal value.
Once you have selected the desired number of entries, choose OK to perform the operation, or choose Cancel to return to the Main Window without making changes to the partition.
Set Active
If you have multiple primary partitions, only one can be active at a time. When your computer is started or rebooted, it reads the partition table of the first drive, scans it for the active partition, and boots that partition. The Set Active Partition dialog box allows you to make the currently selected partition active. If the selected partition is on the first drive, it must be bootable or you will not be able to boot from your hard drive.
When used, Boot Manager should always be the active partition.
Unlike DOS's FDISK, PartitionMagic hides nonactive FAT, HPFS, and NTFS primary partitions. Because of this, you may install multiple operating systems and choose among them using Boot Manager or PQBOOT. For example, if you have DOS/Windows and want to install Windows 95 in a separate partition, shrink the DOS partition, copy it to create an identical primary partition, set the new partition as the active partition, then boot from the Windows 95 installation diskettes and install to the new

File Allocation Table (FAT) Information( The FAT Information page shows in-depth information about the structure and status of a FAT partition. To convert bytes to megabytes, divide by 1,048,576.
Sectors per FAT - the number of logical sectors used by each File Allocation Table and the number of FATs that are present in the partition.
Root directory capacity - the capacity of the root directory, given in entries and sectors. For FAT32 partitions, the size of the root directory is dynamic and these values have no meaning. But for FAT partitions, the capacity of the root directory is fixed at the value shown, and errors such as "disk full" or "root directory full" will occur when the capacity is exceeded. Each file in the root directory takes one entry. Long file names take an additional entry for each group of up to 13 characters. The drive volume label takes one entry. Hidden files in the root directory take entries. Use Resize Root to change the capacity.
First FAT sector - the logical sector number of the first sector used by the first FAT. For FAT partitions, the FAT is followed by the root directory, which is followed by the first data sector. For FAT32 partitions, the root directory is allocated from the data space, just like subdirectories.

partition, the next time you boot the computer, the partition will be assigned a drive letter.
Be careful when using these options because hiding or unhiding a partition causes the drive letters of subsequent partitions to change. This can prevent the computer from booting or cause applications to fail. See the printed manual for more information.
If you create more than one primary partition on a drive, only one is visible by default. When you use the Set Active option, that primary will be unhidden and other primaries will be hidden. PartitionMagic allows you to unhide more than one primary partition. While some operating systems support multiple visible primary partitions, OS/2 and Windows 95 do not. Attempting to use multiple visible primary partitions will confuse the drive letter assignments of Windows 95, Boot Manager, and OS/2's FDISK.
Cluster Wastea
On FAT partitions, disk space is allocated one cluster at a time. The Cluster Waste page shows the current cluster size, the amount of data stored in the currently allocated clusters, the amount of wasted space, and the total space currently allocated in clusters. Space is shown in both bytes and megabytes (MB). The bar graph shows the percent of the cluster space that is used by data and the percent that is wasted.

Formatted FAT file system too big for partition. This error can be caused by the following circumstances:
1. The number of sectors in the partition is larger than 65,536, and the bsHugeSects field of the boot sector ("Big total number of sectors" in Norton's DISKEDIT utility) shows that there are more sectors in the partition than the partition table shows.
2. The number of sectors in the partition is less than 65,536, and the bsSects field of the boot sector ("Total sectors on disk" in Norton's DISKEDIT utility) shows that there are more sectors in the partition than the partition table shows.
This situation can result in data loss when the FAT file system tries to use space outside the partition that does not exist or that belongs to another partition. Since file data may exist outside the partition boundary, you cannot fix the problem by simply patching the boot sector.
To correct the error, back up all data on the partition, delete the partition, recreate the partition, and restore the data. Alternately, it has been reported that you can use Norton Disk Doctor to fix this problem.

The OS/2 Extended Attribute file is corrupt. This error is caused by any program that mistakenly writes to or overwrites the OS/2 Extended Attribute file. If this error occurs, you should back up your data, delete the partition, recreate thet you want to modify, run PartitionMagic from a different partition.
3. Delete the offending file. Files named FOUND.000 or ending in .CHK are typically the problem.

Skip Bad Sector Checks
PartitionMagic normally checks for bad sectors when performing an operation. Many newer disk drives handle bad sectors internally, making bad sector checking unnecessary. When Skip Bad Sector Checks is selected in the Preferences menu, PartitionMagic displays a cascading menu with a list of the physical drives. Select a drive to skip bad sector checks when any operation is performed on that drive. In the cascading menu, PartitionMagic displays a check mark to indicate that bad sector checking will be skipped for that drive.
Ignore OS/2 EA Errors on FAT
One preference available in the Preferences menu is "Ignore OS/2 EA Errors on FAT." When enabled, a check mark is displayed next to the menu item and OS/2 EA errors on FAT partitions will be ignored.
This preference should be turned off when modifying a computer upon which OS/2 is used. If EA errors are found, use OS/2's CHKDSK to fix them. Do not ignore EA errors if you use OS/2.
If you remove OS/2 from a computer, the OS/2 EAs are not maintained and errors develop. Subsequently, PartitionMagic will find EA errors on the partition and will not allow modifications to the partition. To use PartitionMagic in this situation, enable this option.

Not enough memory. The DOS PartitionMagic executable running under DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95 requires a minimum of 585K of memory in the first 640K of the computer's address space (conventional memory). If not enough memory is available, PartitionMagic cannot access the hard disk. For solutions, see Freeing Enough Conventional Memory to Run PartitionMagic on page 165.

Could not allocate/deallocate DOS real mode memory. The DOS PartitionMagic executable running under DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95 requires a minimum of 585K of memory in the first 640K of the computer's address space (conventional memory). If not enough memory is available, PartitionMagic cannot access the hard disk. For solutions, see Freeing Enough Conventional Memory to Run PartitionMagic on page 165.
Error #96
Not enough memory to complete the operation. No changes were made. This error usually occurs when you are running the PartitionMagic OS/2 executable after booting OS/2 (from diskette) on a computer that has only 4MB of memory. When PartitionMagic is loaded into memory, about 300K of memory remain. This may not be enough memory for PartitionMagic to complete selected operations. During an operation, PartitionMagic will determine whether there is enough free memory to continue safely. If PartitionMagic detects that there is not enough memory to complete the next set of changes, it will display this error. Rather than risk losing data, PartitionMagic aborts the operation without making changes.

rather than the OS/2 executable. Alternately, you can free additional memory for OS/2 by copying the first two OS/2 installation diskettes, identifying unneeded device drivers (in the CONFIG.SYS file on the second diskette), deleting the lines that load the unneeded drivers, and rebooting OS/2 with the new diskettes.

Unsupported version of operating system. The operating system versions that are required to run PartitionMagic are listed in the System Requirements table in the introduction to this user guide.
Error #26
XXXXX.DAT not found. The DOS PartitionMagic executable requires the data file PQDW95.DAT. This file contains user interface objects and must be in the same directory as PartitionMagic. For Help information, PQHELP.DAT is required. If a required .DAT file is missing, reinstall PartitionMagic. (The files cannot be simply copied from the CD-ROM because they are in compressed form.)
Error #27d
Cannot lock drive. Under multitasking operating systems (such as OS/2 and Windows 95), PartitionMagic must lock a partition before it can safely modify it. If the hard disk contains files that are in use by another process, PartitionMagic cannot lock the partition. For information about how to avoid this error, see Open Files under Move in Chapter 4.
Error #34
This beta or evaluation version is no longer safe to use. PowerQuest occasionally releases beta versions of PartitionMagic. Beta versions are not as safe as release versions; therefore, PowerQuest builds an expiration date into each beta version. After a predetermined test period, the beta version will no longer function. The error is also returned if you use an evaluation version after the expiration date.
Error #36
DPMI Server error. PartitionMagic DOS executables use a DOS extender. This error indicates a failure during a call made from PartitionMagic through the DOS extender (to DOS or to the BIOS). The DOS extender may be in conflict with other programs that use extended memory. DOS would load the conflicting programs from your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, during the normal boot sequence.
You may be able to resolve this problem by pressing the F8 key while booting DOS. After DOS boots and starts to read the commands from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, DOS will ask you if you want to execute each command. When you see commands that load device drivers or TSR programs that you think might be conflicting with the PartitionMagic DOS extender, answer "N" (no) to tell DOS not to execute that command (not to load that software into memory). You will often be able to find a program configuration that will enable PartitionMagic (the DOS extender) to run without error.

Program is running from that partition. You have selected an operation that will modify the partition from which PartitionMagic is running. Copy PartitionMagic and any necessary .DAT files (see error #26) to a different partition or to a diskette, then run PartitionMagic from the different partition or the diskette.
Disk Access Errors (40-56).
Errors in the 40-56 number range indicate that accessing your disk is not possible, and, often, are the result of hardware problems. Some problems may have simple solutions. For other problems the only solution may be replacing the hard disk. When possible, PartitionMagic detects major errors before any changes have been made so you can back up your data before replacing the hard disk.
Error #49
Write fault. PartitionMagic is unable to write to a specific sector on the hard disk. There are a number of possible causes of this error:
1. If your PC beeps or displays a black box in the middle of the screen, virus protection is enabled
in your computer's BIOS. Disable virus or boot sector protection in the BIOS.
2. A virus protection application (which may be a TSR or DLL program) is in use. Disable the application before using PartitionMagic.
3. There is a bad sector on the hard disk (this is usually the case only with older hard disks). Run SCANDISK on the hard disk to perform a surface scan.
4. You have set up disk mirroring with PC-Tools. Disable the disk mirroring option.
Error #50C
Read fault. PartitionMagic is unable to read a certain sector on the hard disk. If you encounter this error, try one or more of the following:
1. If the computer has an Extended BIOS, run PartitionMagic by entering PQMAGIC /UEB at the DOS prompt.
2. If the hard disk contains a bad sector, a surface scan by SCANDISK will show which sector is bad.
3. If the error is caused by your computer's BIOS virus checking routine (your PC will either beep or display a black box in the middle of the screen), disable the virus checking, write protect, or boot sector protect.

Windows was detected. Because PartitionMagic makes low-level changes to your hard disk, it must have exclusive access to the disk in order to keep your data safe. Because Windows 3.x is a multitasking operating system that does not provide PartitionMagic exclusive access to the disk, it is not safe to run PartitionMagic under Windows 3.x. In your Program Manager, select File, choose Exit Windows, then restart PartitionMagic from DOS. The same problem can occur in Windows 95. Under Windows 95, run PartitionMagic in MS-DOS mode as explained in Chapter 2.

Partition table is bad. The Master Boot Record (MBR) can contain, at most, one extended partition, and each Extended Partition Boot Record (EPBR) can contain, at most, one link to another EPBR. This error occurs when a partition table violates the foregoing rule. Since any modifications PartitionMagic makes may decrease the amount of data that is recoverable from the hard disk, PartitionMagic will not recognize any of the hard disk's partitions. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information). If you must create new, error-free partition tables to resolve your problem, see Resolving Check Errors on page 172 for instructions on doing so.
Error #104y
No sectors in partition. No partition should contain zero sectors. Delete the partition before using PartitionMagic.
Error #105/
Partition starts on wrong boundary. The hard disk partition table contains erroneous values. PartitionMagic expects FAT, HPFS, and NTFS partitions to begin and end on the boundaries used by FDISK. If they do not, the disk may be partially corrupted and any modifications PartitionMagic makes may decrease the amount of data recoverable from the hard disk. Therefore, PartitionMagic refuses to recognize any of the hard disk's partitions. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of thd

Error #107E
Partition begins after end of disk. This error can occur when you are running PartitionMagic on a hard disk that uses more than 1,024 cylinders. Under DOS, PartitionMagic is restricted by the BIOS 1,024 cylinder limit. If any partitions extend beyond the limit, PartitionMagic cannot safely operate on the hard disk. To use the full capacity of hard disks with more than 1,024 cylinders, you must run the PartitionMagic executables under either OS/2 or Windows 95. This error can also occur when you are booting OS/2 from a diskette, and the correct drivers for the hard disk are not present on the diskette.
This error can also occur if a partition erroneously extends beyond the physical end of the hard disk. This may happen if the hard disk has been used on a different computer or with a different hard disk controller. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information). Be advised that the physical geometry of the hard disk may differ from the logical geometry assigned to the hard disk by the operating system.
Error #110
Partition table number of sectors is inconsistent. The hard disk partition table contains two inconsistent descriptions of the number of sectors on the hard disk. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information).
This error is serious if both DOS and OS/2 use the hard disk. Because DOS uses one description and OS/2 uses the other, data loss is likely once the partition is almost full.
Error #111.
Logical partition starts outside Extended. The hard disk partition table contains erroneous values. All logical partitions must be totally contained within the extended partition. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information).
Error #113
Partitions overlap. The hard disk partition table contains erroneous values. If data partitions overlap, writing to one may destroy data in another. You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information).
This error is often the result of an OS/2 FDISK bug. If free space exists within the extended partition (often as a result of using the DOS FDISK program), OS/2's FDISK program allows a primary partition to be created that overl

If a primary partition overlaps the end of the extended partition but does not overlap any logical partitions within the extended partition, the problem can be remedied by patching the partition table. Only qualified individuals should attempt this repair! An incorrect patch could destroy all data on the hard disk! In addition, you can fix this problem by creating new, error-free partitions. If you decide to create new, error-free partitions to resolve your problem, see Resolving Check Errors on page 172 for instructions on doing so.
Error #116
Partition table Begin and Start inconsistent. The hard disk partition table contains two inconsistent descriptions of the partition's starting sector. This error can occur if the operating system reports a hard disk geometry that is different{
than the geometry in use when the partition table was written. Possible causes of the hard disk geometry changing are: (1) different operating systems (for example, DOS and OS/2) report different hard disk geometries, (2) you boot from a diskette that loads a different driver than is loaded when you boot from the hard disk, (3) upgrading the operating system (for example, from OS/2 2.x to OS/2 Warp) causes a different driver to be used, (4) the hard disk or controller has been changed, (5) the BIOS has been upgraded, (6) the BIOS LBA setting has been changed, or (7) there is a partition table virus present on the hard disk.
You can use the PARTINFO utility to print the contents of the partition tables (see Appendix C for more information). You can also use a virus scanning program to remove any partition table virus. Data loss is possible if the number of heads or sectors per track has changed since you first created your partitions.

Partition's drive letter cannot be identified. Under OS/2, PartitionMagic must be able to find the drive letter for each partition before modifications can be made. A driver on your system may change the drive letters from their defaults, or your partitions may not have serial numbers.

Two partitions have the same serial number. PartitionMagic may require all partitions on your system to have unique serial numbers. This is typically the case when a drive letter change has occurred as a result of loading a driver for disk compression or driver letter remapping.

A drive has been formatted since starting PartitionMagic. When you start PartitionMagic, it reads information about each partition into memory. If you switch to another window and format a partition, you must exit PartitionMagic and restart it to allow PartitionMagic to recognize the change.
Error #120
The logical drive chain is incompatible. DOS, OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT require that logical partitions be chained together in ascending order. This error occurs when one or more of the logical partitions are chained together in the wrong order. Other operating systems may not have this requirement. Some versions of Linux fdisk chain logical partitions together in the order created. This situation is very dangerous and can cause loss of one or more partitions when using DOS's FDISK.
Error #121'
The first sector of the drive cannot be read. The first sector of the hard disk (cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1) contains the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the primary partition table. PartitionMagic cannot make changes to this hard disk because an error occurred when it read the first sector.

Error #300
A file with the specified name already exists. This error can occur when PartitionMagic attempts to change a partition's cluster size. To perform a cluster resizing operation, PartitionMagic uses files that have a .MAG extension. If there are existing files that are named the same as the files PartitionMagic is trying to create, it will not write over these files.
The solution is to rename or delete the existing files. To see existing files with a .MAG extension, enter "ATTRIB *.MAG -r -s -h." Then look at the files to see what they are. If you need to keep the existing files, rename them (use a different extension). If you don't want to keep the existing files, delete them. Then retry the operation.
