Any solution to error msg 4001 from partition magic?
(Error 4001 No valid Redirection Area Information Table found

-A piss poor, rude, and worthless answer: Even if there were a
knowledge base at that address.

I have the same error on a hard drive I am trying to transfer. The
question is, if I try to run Windows XP Scandisk on the drive, will
it make the drive unreadable?

If anyone knows anything about that error message a more precise
answer would be quite welcome, thank you.
 
C'mon, it wasn't rude or poor, be fair!
Anyway, here is one possible solution: try running win98 (not XP)
SCANDISK or CHKDSK on the disk, then try transferring it again. As
usual, make backups before doing anything to the drive.
Hope it helps!
