Cannot create a partition with partition magic

[+Mystic MVC]

Trying to use partition magic 8, but no matter which drive I select, it will not let me create a partition.

Windows XP Home Edition

Pentium III

Need any more information just ask. Thanks!

i had the same issue and i felt very stupid when i realized my mistake, i hope your problem is as simple as mine was.. if you're able to do the changes, like create the partition, you have to click on "apply changes/settings" on the bottom of the left taskbar in PM8.

i was looking at the screen going, why the hell isn't it doing anything... got all worked up then i saw the button to make it happen.

You should probably tell us what kind of partitions you have on your drive currently, the amount of free space you have and any messages tha Partition Magic displays when you attempt to create a new partition.

Do you have the full version? the trial version will not save changes at all. Give us a screenshot of what the PM gui shows of your HDD.

I have 2 harddrives with no previous partitions. I am using the wizard and it varies on what step it gives me the message, "a new partition could not be created on drive 1". Sometimes it doesn't let me get past the drive selection step, other times it gives me that message right when I'm choosing the partitions properties.

Sorry to double post, but I have to ask. I just want to make a partition, if partition magic doesn't work, what will? Just want to make a simple partition! Thanks.
