Re: One progran to fix HD problems did me wrong

PM v8 works fine for me.
Thought of testing your memory, www.memtest.org , I've found some such apps
can fall over if memory is slightly iffy

In preparing for a future Vista installation, I am trying to merge three
partitions on one of my 30 GB HD.

I used a Partition program to merge an empty partition into a bigger one.
Each time, it errored out, and created a new partition on the HD.

Now I have 6 partitions. Ugh!

I also tried to use XP Pro's Disk Management to merge, but I could not do
that.

I also tried to use the free utility Partition Logic, but it froze; I
could
not use my mouse to select the OK button.

One way to do is to do a complete reinstall of Windows, and repartition
the
entire HD, but this is the last thing I want to do, because it is such an
ugly procedure.

Any one have any recommendations, other than trashing Partition Magic 7?
Won't use it again!

BTW sorry if this is a double post. I did not see the earlier post on the
board.
