Subject: DR-Dos fdisk and partition magic
Mime-Version: 1.0

I have noticed a couple of strange things about DR-dos's fdisk. On my
harddrive there are many partitions, the ones that were created with DR-Dos
have troubles with Partition Magic, or I guess PQMagic has troubles with
them. I can not resize, move, ore even test them with PQMagic, it gives me
an error stateing that the MBR information is wrong or something to that
extent. PQMagic works fine on the partitions created with M$Dos. I also had
the same problem with System Commander, it too can resize partitions but
would just lockup if I tried anything on a partition created with DR-Dos.
All of the utilites I have tried like Norton cant find anything wrong with
the DR-Dos partitions. Is there something different in the way that DR-Dos
makes its partitons?

Thanks,Bob
