Partition Magic 8 Error 117: need help

[jtm9emo]

I'm trying to merge two partitions back together on my hard drive, but when I try to launch the program I get an error message like this:

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work. I'm using XP Home SP3 on a laptop. Any help would be very appreciated...

It appears to be a common problem.

See this from their developer (Symantec)
Or see this post.

They were the first 2 links when I did this google search.

That is why I stoped using Partition Magic a long time ago. For a pay program it's frankly not very good and errors way to often. Give GParted a try. It's a Linuxed based partition program that can manage pretty much every partition type known to computer geeks.

Partition magic alternative

PQ indeed gets older and can not work with vista and servers. I am using a free partition magic free alternative ease us partition manager home. :good: Windows based partition software. but if you need a bootable cd, you need to purchase its pro edition.

That's old topic already.
