User Interaction Errors | Norton Abrasives 8 instruction

#625 Batch structure has changed

Generally error 625 only occurs when the system needs to go into boot-mode to execute your commands. A 625 error occurs when your disk geometry is seen differently in your native Windows version of PartitionMagic than it is in the boot-mode version. For security reasons, PartitionMagic cannot apply your changes without risking data loss.

One common configuration that will cause a 625 error is a system that has a hard disk (such as a SCSI or removable drive) that is visible in Windows but that cannot be seen in the boot-mode environment.

Some possible solutions include:

•Make sure the operation executes in native Windows mode (without resorting to boot-mode execution). PartitionMagic will only go into boot-mode if it cannot lock a partition (that is, if there are any open files on the partition). Try to confine all operations to drives PartitionMagic can lock before clicking the Apply Changes button.

•Change the configuration of the offending disk (most likely the SCSI or removable drive) by changing the BIOS setup for that disk. Doing so will ensure that the native and boot-mode environments detect identical hard disk configurations. If this does not work, you can try temporarily disabling the offending disk.

This error usually indicates that some other application has modified your disk configuration while you were running PartitionMagic. Make sure no other applications are loaded while PartitionMagic is running.

User Interaction Errors (950–999)

#950 Unable to detect any disk drives

No partitionable hard disks were found on your computer. Diskette drives and many removable media drives do not support partitioning. PartitionMagic cannot perform operations on disks in such drives.

#951 An invalid value was entered

The value entered is outside the range or (when rounded to the required cylinder boundary) rounds to a value that is outside the range for the operation specified. Check the displayed range and reenter the value.

#952 Value entered is the same as the current value

See error #508.
