Re: [newbie] HELP PLEASE - PartitionMagic error

I had a similar problem once, Windows 98 would not stop auto-loading a DOS program for partitioning my HD on startup!  I copied my autoexec.bat and config.sys from the Windows partition to another comz where I removed the command to load the proggy!  I then copied the new one over the old and I booted into Windows on the first attempt!   Hope this simple solution helps!   -Juien ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Junge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 1998 1:06 PM Subject: [newbie] HELP PLEASE - PartitionMagic error As I've mentioned before, I've been having problems with PartitionMagic. I installed PartitionMagic, then mandrake linux 7, then decided to delete the linux partition. No longer does my computer load lilo, or list linux as a partition, but PartitionMagic still loads as a dos program when the computer starts up and tells me "That linux partition could not be deleted. The operating system partition being deleted was not found." The only option it gives me is to click ok, which shuts down the computer and repeats the process.     I tried going to my other computer and doing a sys a:, and also putting fdisk from my other computer onto the disk. I then put this disk in the computer that wouldn't load windows, and it gave me an a prompt. I tried typing fdisk /mbr, but it didn't make a difference for the next time i booted the computer. What can I do?     Please give me a detailed enough anwser because I've tried to solve this problem numerous ways.
