PM 7? - is that one signed Symantec, or PowerQuest?? If the former then
you're SOL, 'cos Symantec screwed it - if the latter, you're still SOL, 'cos
Symantec don't have a clue (and neither do I)
The last version I owned was PM6, IIRC - and that was bad enough (bloating
was getting beyond a joke, and it claimed things that I could never get it
to do - at least on the system I was working on at the time)
PM2 was a wonderful program - but........

I'd see if BING can rescue you out of the cr&pper - www.bootitng.com...
30-day free trial - and then post back.

I'm using Partition Magic, v.7. And, I've checked the hard disk, without
errors. I'll try one of the RAM test programs. Other than that, I'm at a
loss. I'll also try using an Me boot disk, and reformatting the select
partitions. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Noel,

Not having used PM since the late 90s I can't really comment other than
of
course that the product has in most likelihood been totally trashed since
PowerQuest fell victim to the Symantec dollar. It might be worth the OP
booting to DOS using a Win Me boot floppy and checking their hard disk
using fdisk and then formatting the target partition.

FWIW, I had similar problems after using Partition Magic - it turned
out that PM had actually screwed up, and there was nothing wrong with
the hardware.
I don't remember whether the SU number was the same - but it sounds
familiar.
Which version of PM are we talking about here?? - versions before 5
are not compatible with ME, IIRC.
