partition magic 5.01

by el guapo . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

Hello,

Has anyone worked extensively with PowerQuest’s PM 5.0 or 5.01? Installed this in our trainer pc’s trying to dual boot w98 and nt4.0. Observed the limitations (2gb mark and the cylinder 1024). I made a partition for NT 650mb in size at the first 2 gb of the disk. Somehow during the install, NT claims the partition was corrupted and halted the install. Tried to use the rescue disks that PM 5.01 made to re-adjust the original partition and restore booting to w98. Nothing happened.The pc is stuck in DOS and is unbootable to W98. PowerQuest tech support is stumped as well.
Any insight on what had happened?

Thanks
