My friends computer will not start..... it gets the blue screen of death for a fraction of a second. I put Hiren's disk in my friends computer (HP pavilion dv9040us). It has two hard drives. The first one has windows xp, and the second has jaunty. When I opened Hirens, I went ahead and opened Parition Magic, and it gave me this message:
Norton Partition Magic Pro server has found an extended partition on disk 2 that crosses the 1024 cylinder boundry and is not marked as and extended x partition. This condition can cause data corruption on this disk. After fixing this problem Norton Partition Magic Pro must reboot this system to reinitialize the file system drivers. Would you like to change the extended partition to an extedned x partition? It appears to me that this is the problem, but the data may already be corrupted. My question is: If I tell Norton PM server to make it an extended x partition, am I in danger of causing more damage, or if I try it, will it just leave things in the state that they are already in, execpt for the extendid x partition modification? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!
