Merge partitions
I have a 40 GB HD in Window XP Home edition that has been partitioned into
three separate drives. Since 40 GB isn't that big anymore, I would like to merge drives C&D into approximately 30 GB and leave the extra 10 GB for storage. With Power Quest Partition Magice 7.0, this usually is not problem at all. However, whenever I try this particular change, I get the error message: Access Violation at address 0052DCCC in nodule PMagicNT 7.0 exe read of address 000000008. What does this mean? I cannot find any referral to this error message in the documentation. I have tried using the WinXP disk utility to do make this change, but it doesn't seem to have an option to merge partitions--only to delete them. Can anyone help me with this? |

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Partition Magic, with all background apps (including Antivirus) disabled? If you're not 100% certain that your system's memory is error free you might also try running http://www.memtest86.com for few hours. If your copy of Partition Magic is the full retail packaged/licensed version then you might also ask Powerquest... shoot them an email with details... or ask them anyway, |

It is a problem.
Yuo can't do diskpartitioning on the system partition. windows system dir is probably residing on C, hence the trouble. Michel "Cain Shugher" wrote in message ...

(that's all I use personally, I don't use the windows version) Regards, Chris |

Have you used the Windows version of PM to create its bootable rescue diskettes and ran PM from there? Rather than try to use PM to change partitions (which requires a reboot, anyway), just reboot and use the bootable PM diskettes. It is self-defeating to try to alter the partition from which the OS is running and from where you execute the program that is trying to change the partition it is running from. Sort of like trying to take off your socks with your shoes still on. PM will do a reboot to make the actual partition changes but then you are still trying to run it from the hard disk that you are also altering. Instead just use the bootable floppies that PM creates. I do the same with DriveImage. -- __________________________________________________ *** Post replies to newsgroup. Share with others.

Oh, in addition, run 'chkdsk /r' for each partition before running PM just to be sure the files and disk are okay. -- __________________________________________________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.
