I currently run Partition Magic 8 on my Western Digital Drives. The only time I had any problems trying to resize my drives occurred after I had uninstalled Go Back. The Drives had been partitioned with Partition Magic and Go Back was installed. Then, I had to reformat (I just did some partitions...like the C:) and then I could not re allocate all the space... and I tried several things. I called Tech Support...and it did not take long for them to figure out wha the problem was and told me how to fix it. I have called them quite a few times....4-6 times over the years..and I have always gotten excellent support from them. I have been using both Western Digital Drives (the 7200 - Since they were released) and have used Partition Magic 6, 7 & 8 and have always resolved any issues I have had... with their help. The only other thing that comes to mind..is to be sure you do not have Norton or other virus programs running. Rose Las Vegas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wyatt M.

I keep getting an error 1513 whenever I try to resize or create a new partition from other partitions. I've emailed tech support, but thought maybe someone here has run into it. I did the chkdsk /f, but no go. I used the Western Digital drive diagnostics and there aren't any problems. The drive isn't old and hasn't ever had any problems. Here's what the manual said and I followed the steps and am awaiting a reply. #1513 Bad attribute position in file record This error can often be resolved by running CHKDSK /F on the affected disk. For instructions on running CHKDSK, see PowerQuest Solution How to Run Microsoft CHKDSK from the Command Line. If running CHKDSK /F does not help, please send the following items to PowerQuest Technical Support: <snip> Hope no one minds if I cross post this.
