Any idea where I can get this answered? Acomdata 160 Gig USB external HD. Partitioning problem.

The drive seems to function perfectly with all my windows software, partitioned
NTFS.
I fired up Partition Magic 8 to add a FAT partition but PM8 says the drive is
*bad*
That's it, just bad.
Is it really bad or does PM8 have a problem with this particular drive?

PowerQuest?

 

You 'fired up' a drink coaster? (That's the only thing you should use a PM
disk for.)

Yep.
I would like to add a FAT partition without having to remove 50 gigs from the
drive..
Any ideas?

I meant I have the idea that PowerQuest can answer this.

 

I doubt it. They sold Partition magic to Symantic.

Since the webside www.powerquest.com still exists (a bit adapted to last
changes), I suppose a mail to will arrive.

 

I received an auto response from Symantic but no answers so far.

Usenet has real went downhill. You used to be able to find answers here.
I'll check out some of the Web tech forums. I hate them but that's where all the
knowledgeable tech types seem to hang out these days.

Well, there's no doubt you're incapable of reading for comprehension - Toolman
Tim specifically stated that you were wasting your effort replying as he
wouldn't see it, (and he's not going to see it here, as it's proper to snip
trollshit) yet *you* replied to *him* after that post. That means that if anyone
is trolling, it's you. Now, why don't you just go back to school and learn to
read before you start duck-clucking?

"Oh, and one more thing - don't bother replying to my post, because I won't see
it, either."

 

He lied you silly mindless twit.

And so are you. <g>

I can't believe what crawls out of the woodwork in this group.
Pretty sad to see this group sink to this level.

What did I do wrong? You asked: <citate>Any idea where I can get this
answered?</citate>. Is my answer incorrect?

 

Every question in this group could be answered the same way.

This group used to have techies who actually knew something but it's obvious
they've all been driven off by the trolls like in so many other groups.
I found the answer easily elsewhere.
This group has become a joke.

So? For my information please, what made PM think your drive is bad?

 

Ask Powerquest.
