FYI, A couple of days ago I posted this email below. Below it is a reply from Power Quest. (I mentioned to them that Roger said he had to reformat when he clicked "yes".) -------------------------- Does anyone know what this means and is IT SAFE to say "yes" to it? This happens every time I click the Drive Image .exe file. I'm afraid it may delete a whole partition...or worse. http://orpheuscomputing.com/DriveImageWarning.gif (link will be removed after answer is found).
I don't know if this has anything to do with this; but I have a partition that is not showing correctly. It is "G" and is for my swap file. It was created as 2gb in size (while formatting in DOS), shows as 1.85gb in WINDOWS under "my computer", but in the device manager where you chose the virtual memory, it showed as having OVER 3GB FREE. That's 3gb FREE, it did not say the size of G: drive. (it now shows as 1.9gb free, probably because I just changed it to a fixed size). Also; in DOS, only 3 partitions are showing (C, D, E) instead of the 5 I have (+ E, F). Would these things have anything do with the Drive Image warning? If not, what might be causing them? Scan disk has never shown any errors. OS is Windows ME, HD is Western Digital WD800JB (80gb, 7200rpm, 8mb buffer), 2.4ghz P4, & 512mb DDR RAM. ALL partitions were formatted using the WD format utility and ALL are FAT32. -------------------------------- >From Power Quest: Thank you for contacting us and we apologize for the delay in responding. The snapshot is worth a million words. Drive Image 2002 does an integrity check of the hard drive, if it detects a problem an alert message will appear. In this case, a partition that is larger than 8gbs isn't flagged correctly. Yes, Drive Image offers to fix it and some of the time, it does make a boo boo. If it was me I would not let Drive Image correct it, say NO. Than generate a Partinfo report and send to me to look at it first.
