If you use a really ****ed up OS, it may not put boot code in, and your
computer hangs on startup.

The majority of us use a real OS. Boot code is a requirement of the MBR.

Update ... my solution ...

I purchased a copy of PartitionMagic 8.0 with
a copyright year of 2002. It's great!

Is that the same one giving you the "Error 626"? :-)

Cheers, Phred.
 
Yep, it's the same PartitionMagic 8 ...

The problem was that the two HDDs were placed on
two different channels, "Primary IDE" (source) and
"Primary ATA100" (destination). [My motherboard has
four channels, "Primary IDE", "Secondary IDE",
"Primary ATA100" and "Secondary ATA100".]

For some reason, PartitionMagic 8 is not able to
operate on HDDs on the "Primary ATA100" channel while
in DOS/Batch mode.

This problem was resolved by placing both HDDs on
the same "Primary IDE" channel.

PartitionMagic 8 (with a copyright year of 2002) rocks!

My system is running Win98SE.

I have PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8.0 installed.

When I try to copy a partition to
a new 120 GB HDD (Seagate ST3120026A),
I get the following error message:
"Error 626. Operation is to be performed on
a hard drive not visible from boot-mode."

This error message occurs when PM8 goes into
DOS to execute operations in batch mode.

Anyone know what's wrong?
