    Got a question before I fling this program out the window. Three different times I tried to merge two partions together. All these times 85% of the way through magic came up with a error and aborted. So thus all data it was moving around was lost and the free space had to be reformated. One error was header attributes didnt match. Dont recall what the other two was. I did check for errors before with scan disk and none was present. All magic had to do was move data into a folder aND MERGE THE PARTITIONS. Any ideas?:>

    perhaps the drive has some bad sectors in it. Have you tried running scan disk to check?

    Yes I ran scan disk before hand. This happened on two drives in raid and a single drive. I think i may have found the problem. Windows instalaltions seems to be making the ntfs table o.o while the second partion was 3.1 and that was causing the errors. ANy clues?
