Re: [newbie] PartitionMagic erro

[BrianGreen]

Try using the Partition Magic diskette.  Boot the system with this diskette, and from the A:\ type "pqmagict.exe".   This program does all the same things that the Windblows version does, but without the OS running.  You can remove the Linux partition, format it as a Ext2, resize, etc.       You can also make your W98 partition active, and hide all other partitions, therefore the machine will boot to W98.      FYI, I use this diskette a lot, as I have 4 partitions, 2 W98s (1 for Apps, and 1 for Games), 1 with Linux, and a Linux Swap.  I also use a program called Power Boot to boot to any OS I like.  But LILO can be set up to boot all OSs as well, with little effort.   Hope this helps.   Brian  ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Junge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2000 7:20 AM Subject: [newbie] PartitionMagic erro I installed a Linux partition, then tried to delete it using PartitionMagic's delete partition option in windows 98. When the computer booted up, the delete partition dos program came up, and i went through all the steps. The computer re-booted, and went to lilo again w/ linux stil as an option. This isn't the problem, though, because when i try to run windows it goes into the delete partition dos program and tells me "could not delete linux partition. The operating system partition being deleted was not found." And every time i reboot and try to run windows, it gives me this window with clicking ok as the only option. ( when i click ok, the system reboots ). ANY IDEAS? Im desperate, i can't get into windows 98 and i linux doesn't work anyways/
