PM 7 "Q" or Help Pls;

Using partition Magic 7.
I installed (1) ide hd as ide:0 master, formatted and installed W98, then PM 7 and thought I could use it's "Boot-Magic" to boot the IDE drive along with my (3) scsi drives that use NTFS and one of them run's Win2000.......ok.

The manual plainly said that BootMagic has to be installed on a FAT partition AND IT IS.!!!

In my wildest dreams i thought it would be the answer to my multi-boot options for Booting all OSes.......Dah!!!

Any comments OR answers about this BS??

thx

Just what exactly happens when you boot? Do you see the boot magic screen? If not have you run the boot magic config tool?

 

Sure i see the boot option screen but the only option there is the IDE that i'm on.........no other selections.

 

Well, check in the boot magic config and see if they are listed in there. I'm still using PM 5.0 so I don't know if my boot magic is the same or not but in mine if you don't see the OS's you want you have to put a check mark in the box next to advanced in order to see them. If you've already done this I guess I can't help as I don't have any scsi hard drives. Either way, let us know and perhaps somebody else who has experience with boot magic and scsi will be able to help.

 

It's as if the scsi drives aren't there.....
