Hi,
I couldn't find any Part. Magic 8 (Win 2000) forums, so I'm trying here.
After installing a new 80 gig drive (3rd in system) and resizing it with
Part. Magic 8, I got a message saying I had "inserted a drive that needed a
UDF reader", and whether to install a Reader.
In My Computer, the drive-1st partition only- has a UDF icon on it and
when I double-click, it asks to install a UDF reader. I can explore the
drive and save to it. Any idea what's going on?? The other partitions on
this "UDF" drive are fine. Also, the affected partition gives me an Autoplay
option when I right click on it, as if it were a CDrom drive..

But the drive that Windows and PM8 is seeing as a CDrom (actually as a CDR,
because it allows me to write to it) is not a CDrom drive, but a hard drive!
I disconnected my CDrom and CDRW drives (one of each) during the hard drive
install, since I would have needed 5 IDE ports.
I've tried changing the drive to Active, logical etc, but it's still being
seen as a CDrom drive and treated as a recordable drive.?? It also correctly
reports the size of the drive(actually the Partition, since all other
partitions are normal).
