0 ozgeek Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Maybe the FAT on the second disk is corrupt in reality but seems fine to you. What I'd do if I was you is to backup whatever is on that disk and wipe it clean to it's fulliest and recreate the partitions back the way you had it and put your stuff back on. Could also mean a bad hard drive about to die. Back up your data as a pre-caution and replace it if the above method did not work.

0 eXsub Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 just ignore it, if it works fine - doesn't run too hot and doesn't smell like its about to catch on fire only to burn your room down. then chill :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/299043-parition-magic-problems/#findComment-585857958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 username Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 you probably should just fdisk the drive then try new partitions Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/299043-parition-magic-problems/#findComment-585857964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Gone Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I had this problem before. Run a scandisk by the console: chkdsk X: /f /v /r Where X: is the letter of the bad drive.
