Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / May 2004need to recover from PartitionMagic Error 116 - please help
My system is running Windows 98 SE. After the PM7 window opens, I get the error (for disk #1): Error 116 - Partition table Begin and Start inconsistent I'd like to backup partitions on disk #1 but PM7 won't allow it so long as it thinks there are errors. Despite the error from PM7, my system works fine. I just can't backup my partitions, which I really need to do. > My system is running Windows 98 SE. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Despite the error from PM7, my system works fine. > I just can't backup my partitions, which I really need to do. You can actually copy the partition of which the entries in the partition table are incorrect by using the rescue disks. Run PartitionMagic from the 2nd rescue disk by entering: pqmagic /ipe  SignatureM.f.G. Michael Kimmer "Ein Tag an dem Du nicht l?chelst ist ein verlorener Tag" "Eine Nacht in der Du nicht schl?fst ist eine verschlafene Nacht" Finally got around to defrag and backup... And, your suggestion worked like a charm. Whew! What a relief.

What a relief. Thanks! It still requires a fix ! /ipe does actually copy the partition, but does NOT solve the error 116 SignatureM.f.G. Michael Kimmer "Ein Tag an dem Du nicht l?chelst ist ein verlorener Tag" "Eine Nacht in der Du nicht schl?fst ist eine verschlafene Nacht" That's right. So, what I did was transfer the crucial Windows partition(s) onto another disk leaving the problematic (at least for PM7) Linux partitions that I don't care that much about. PM7 seems to have problems when there is a mixture of Windows and Linux partitions on the same disk. > >> *cut* > >> You can actually copy the partition of which the entries in the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > "Ein Tag an dem Du nicht lächelst ist ein verlorener Tag" > "Eine Nacht in der Du nicht schläfst ist eine verschlafene Nacht" >> "Michael Kimmer" <michaelkimmer@NOSPAM.xs4all.nl> wrote in message >> It still requires a fix ! >> /ipe does actually copy the partition, but does NOT solve the error >> 116 > That's right.

Just install Linux without letting YAST or whatever setup change the partitiontable... -- M.f.G. Michael Kimmer "Ein Tag an dem Du nicht l?chelst ist ein verlorener Tag" "Eine Nacht in der Du nicht schl?fst ist eine verschlafene Nacht" I'm pretty sure that PM7 is what caused the problem. Linux was already installed and working (before the problem). Even before Linux was installed (long ago), I used PM7 to setup the Linux partitions. My guess is that the problem came about when I created additional FAT32 primary partition(s) while there were already a mixture of FAT32 and Linux partitions. This happened before and guru Svend came to my rescue by recovering my Linux ext2 partition that PM7 messed up. I'm hoping that he will help me out again. Svend, where are you? > >> "Michael Kimmer" <michaelkimmer@NOSPAM.xs4all.nl> wrote in message > >> It still requires a fix !

It happened to you before but you still use that lame product? Do you ever learn? > I'm hoping that he will help me out again. > > Svend, where are you?
