rule. It can also occur if you have more than one active partition. Since any modifications PartitionMagic makes may decrease the amount of data that is recoverable from the hard disk, PartitionMagic does not recognize any of the hard disk’s partitions. If you must create new, error-free partition tables to resolve your problem, see “Resolving Partition Table Errors” on page 114 for instructions.

#104 No sectors in partition

No partition should contain zero sectors. Delete the partition before using PartitionMagic.

#105 Partition starts on wrong boundary

The hard-disk partition table contains erroneous values. PartitionMagic expects partitions to begin and end on the correct cylinder boundaries. If they do not, the disk may be partially corrupted. In this circumstance, if PartitionMagic were to make any modifications it might cause the loss of data. Therefore, PartitionMagic refuses to recognize any of the hard disk’s partitions. To resolve this problem, see the instructions in “Resolving Partition Table Errors” on page 114.

#106 Partition doesn’t start with sector one

See error #105.

#107 Partition begins after end of disk

This error can occur if a partition erroneously extends beyond the physical end of the hard disk. This may happen if the hard disk has been used on a different computer or with a different hard-disk controller or if BIOS settings have been changed. Be advised that the physical geometry of the hard disk may differ from the logical geometry assigned to the hard disk by the operating system.

#108 Partition doesn’t end at end of cylinder

See error #105.

#109 Partition ends after end of disk

See error #107.

#110 Partition table number of sectors is inconsistent

The hard-disk partition table contains two inconsistent descriptions of the number of sectors on the hard disk. This error is serious if both DOS and another operating system use the hard disk. Because DOS uses one description and other
