GOOGLE: partition magic 8 error messages
Why not try DISK MANAGEMENT to repartition and format the HD.
I purchased a external hard drive kit for a drive that was in my old computer. When I pluged it in my new computer it was not given a letter even though it was listed in disk management. I purchase Partition Magic8. I was able to extract all in information but now I want to reformat so I can use it again. When I tried to do it with PartitionMagic I got this error message...Error #109 partition ends after end of disk,
UcEndCylinder (1247) must be less than 1247, Disk geometry errors. I've tried to contact them but have had no responce for weeks now.
