#974 Root size specified was not in the valid range
This error occurs only in the enterprise version of PartitionMagic from a running
script. If you use the Create, Format, or Resize Root operations, and the number
of root entries specified is not within the acceptable range for that partition, this
error appears. Generally, the valid range is from 64 to 1,024.
#975 The cluster size specified was invalid for this partition
This error message displays only in the enterprise version of PartitionMagic from
a running script. Many commands have a cluster size option. If a script command
specifies an invalid cluster size (for the type and size of the partition), this error
appears.
#976 Cannot create the file system specified in the current space
This error message displays only in the enterprise version from a running script.
When you use the Create or Format commands, you must also choose a file
system type. If the file system or partition type you specified cannot be created in
the space available, this error appears.
#977 Partition selected is invalid
This error message displays only in the enterprise version of PartitionMagic from
a running script. If the partition selected from the Select Partition command is not
a valid partition, this error appears.
#978 Unable to set to proper partition after last operation. Script halted.
This error message appears only in the enterprise version of PartitionMagic from
a running script. After each operation, PartitionMagic ensures that the right
partition is still selected. If PartitionMagic is not able to select the proper
partition, it ends script processing and displays this error.
#986 Unable to get information for the specified partition
PartitionMagic reports this error most commonly when MS-DOS-based
terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs) are running in the background.
These TSRs will be located in the Config.sys or Autoexec.bat files.
One such TSR is the SUBST command. The SUBST can be used to associate a
path with a drive letter. This creates a “virtual drive” that can be accessed as an
additional local drive. The SUBST command is classified as a “dirty” or “deadly”
TSR, and cannot be loading at the same time that PartitionMagic is loading.
To solve the problem, you must remark out the Config.sys or Autoexec.bat line
that is loading the SUBST command. This command can be reinstated after
running PartitionMagic.
