I am getting the error #1516 when trying to resize the partition on my
hard drive using pm 8 when booting the computer. XP will not boot up
all the way and I cannot access the dos either... I only get a black
blank screen when it is in the middle of loading xp. So, I can't do the
disk check to clear the error. Also, I can't get into the recovery with
a dos prompt.. I can't get any dos prompt - even through safe mode
(which also freezes in the middle of xp loading).

Overall, I wanted to resize the hard drive so I could install a new xp
and collect my files on to a portable hard drive and then wipe out the
drive and install xp one more time... Is there another way of getting
ride of the error so I can partition the drive and install a second xp?

Thanks!
