Quote: | Compatibility issues
PartitionMagic is compatible with Windows NT, 98, ME, 2000, and XP desktop editions. However, it is not compatible with Windows NT, 2000, or .NET server editions. It crashes if a Windows Vista partition is present, even if it is run from a different operating system, with the error "Init failed: Error 117. Partition's drive letter cannot be identified". However this error can be avoided if the Windows Vista partition is configured using Windows XP instead of creating the partition using Windows Vista or its installation disk. To fix this, all partitions on the hard drive need to be be deleted and formatted into new partitions using the Windows XP installation disk, allowing for a working partition for Windows Vista to be created. The same error occurs in some conditions under Windows XP. |
Thought you might want to know that.

So let me get this straight, if I partition my HD after I reboot my computer and its still Windows Vista, it will cause the error "Init failed: Error 117. Partition's drive letter cannot be identified". So I would have to reboot my computer like I'm going to, then uninstall Vista, install XP, and then partition my HD and install Vista on the other half that has no OS yet just so that error message won't pop up? How rediciulous! I'm just gonna reboot and install XP Pro.
Thank you so much Starseeker, I never thought about researching about it, I actually was going to get on my computer and look where I could buy Partition Magic at, but now I guess just Windows XP and what the price is. Yay for keeping an extra $70!
