FX Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Well should be last and final update on this subject. I don't like the fact that I can't "fix" something. With not being able to load windows and having PM8 not be able to partition for linux, I couldn't live with that. So what I did was I went to Maxtor's (hard drive) website and downloaded MaxBlaster 3. Its hard drive utility software. I threw the diskette in and rebooted. Well the software booted I had it format my harddrive (long format) with all 0s. (zeros). It took about 3 hours. After it was all done Windows loaded just fine. Installed PM8 and that made the linux partition just fine also. At this point I'm doing the Windows update. So now I'm happy. I fixed my pc.
