A while back I used Partition Magic Pro v7 (the last good one) to change some setting on my system drive. Surprisingly it worked (originally designed for win2K), but the problem is that it doesn't think that it worked. Now every time my computer boots it tries running the partition magic...

Hi, Apolgies if this topic has already come up. I couldn't find the appropriate thread. My office was disposing of old computers, so I snapped one up. Before they handed them over, the tech guy "wiped everything clean" (Windows XP was the OS). So now I have a "clean" computer, and I'd like to...
