Error: Partition table Corrupt - end: partition 1 File ERRORS.TXT not found - no verbose messages available Bye! -- I have the 2.2.8 CD-ROM set from cdrom.com. The hard drive currently is only a single partition in FAT32 with Windows98 on it. I ran the partition information utility from PartitionMagic 4.0 and it reports no partition errors. I tried using PM4 to split my existing partition and it got almost 60% through the process and told me "Error 3 executing batch." and gave up itself. Any idea what my problem could be? I am stumped. PM4 info util reports no partition errors, but FIPS says the Partition Table is corrupt.... Help!
