Appendix A: Using PartitionMagic With Other Programs104
Norton Utilities
You can safely use PartitionMagic and Norton products together. The following
information will help you avoid any problems.
Norton Disk Doctor
If an extended partition ends at the end of a drive, Norton Disk Doctor (NDD) will
sometimes display this message: “An extended partition has invalid parameters and
probably is inaccessible. Correct this situation if you are unable to access partitions on
hard disk 1. Do you wish to correct this problem?” To eliminate this message, use
PartitionMagic to resize the logical and extended partitions at the end of the drive to leave
some free space before the end of the drive.
Additionally, when you delete, move, or resize partitions, it appears to NDD that you
could have inadvertently deleted a partition. NDD displays the following message: “If you
are unable to access a disk that you previously could, you should revive this partition.
Would you like to revive this partition?” If you inadvertently deleted a partition, select
Yes. If you do not want this message to appear every time you run NDD, complete the
following:
1 Click No.
NDD displays this message: “You have chosen not to revive the partition. Do you
want Norton Disk Doctor to mark the partition so it doesn’t ask about it again?”
2 Click Yes.
The Create Undo File dialog appears.
3 Click Skip Undo File. (Creating an undo file uses many diskettes.)
NDD displays this message: “If you wish to undelete this partition at a later time, use
the /UNDELETE switch.”
4 Click OK.
NDD displays this message: “Partition information has been changed. Would you like
to restart your computer?”
5 Click Restart Your Computer.
