FC2 und Partition Magic

[Thoralf Polet]

Since running FC2 on my system Partition Magic refuses
to start reporting errors regarding the hard disk
structure. Any thoughts on that?

Perhaps:

Otherwise, perhaps it has to do with the well known "Windows XP can't
boot" bug. Searchable list archive here:

Works fine for me (FC2/WinXP). When you installed Fedora, did you use
the MBR option so as not to overwrite the existing structure?

In my system running xp, rh9, fc1 (Multi system) the PM was working 
normal, all of my linux boot loader installed in their working 
partition, I used Boot Magic to boot all of them. When the first time to 
use PM after fc2 installed, almost every partition in every hard drive 
of this system, is reported with problem and PM suggested to correct 
them by overing Yes or No, I selected yes, and almost all partitions are 
being displayed by PM back to normal except one hard drive - The entire 
hard drive (2 partitons in it) being filled with yellow color and PM 
can't read the content of it, however XP still can access and see this 
hard drvie as normally would. I opinion is that FC2 indeed altered 
something in all hard drives in the same system that are running M$ 
stuff, but as long as Windowz running normal, I live with it.

I've run into the same problems on a Mandrake 10.0 system (I wouldn't
use PM on a system with Fedora on it). I have a feeling Partition 
Magic isn't all that magical with ext3 partitions. I think there must
be something Linux fdisk (or Disk Druid) does that's legal, but 
freaks Partition Magic out. Previously I've looked in the manual 
for PM and researched the error messages with good results. The 
manual used to be very good with detailed info on error messages.
I don't have a current version of PM, so I'm not sure what 
documentation is like now. Partition Magic has been around for
a long time, and has helped me out many times, but it doesn't 
always work. They tell you to back everything up for a reason.
