257317 2004-08-01 23:53:00 Hi there! Need help!
When using Fdisk to delete extended partition on HDD in PC with Pent S and Win98 asked to enter volume label. Since I did not define lebel, getting "volume label don't match".

How to get around this?

Thanks

If there isnt one, just hit Enter

If you do that and its still complaining, its because there is a label, so double-check :-)


Chill.

257320 2004-08-02 00:43:00 why do people insist on promoteing a paid or illegal/warez program exspecially when the free tools will do the same job ]:) tweak'e (174)
257321 2004-08-02 00:57:00 Partition Magic 6.0, fully working, was a freebie on a Aussie Mags cover disc. Works fine for W98 but not for XP. Not exactly an illegal copy is it?
And is also the easiest one to use.

nope but somehow i doubt the poster had that one in mind ;-). also by the time they even find a copy they would had it fixed by useing existing tools.

I'm with you on that one. I think mine was about $90 and worth every cent.

257325 2004-08-02 07:23:00 i wouldn't call PM guru of all programs by any streach of the imagantion. i would call it $90 wasted :p . about the only thing it does that can't be done by free ones is shift data on the partitons (eg resizing partitions that are full of data). tweak'e (174)

IIRC it should have qtparted on it. Im pretty sure that 3.4 does (although DSE are distributing 3.3 from what Ive heard).

qtparted - free and does very much what PM does - Non-destructive also!
....There are other programs out there
