I have a WD 8.4gig drive that I fdisked and re-formated. That seemed to go ok. I then tried to do a disk to disk clone of a 15gig IBM that i've had some problems with and want to RMA.
Anyhow, using Disk Image 4.0, I attempted to transfer the HD data. Of course the IBM being bigger, I got a message that said the partition that I was trying to copy to the smaller disk was being re-sized to fit (the entire 15gig drive was not full by any means) and everything seemed to go ok untill I checked to see if the data had made it to the WD 8.4. It did'nt.
I then decided to fdisk the WD HD again and try another attempt. But when I tried to fdisk the drive it would not allow me to delete the extended DOS partition (which I did'nt create, as I figured this was temparary and i'd just use the whole 8.4gig one partition). And I still can't after several attempts at doing so. The fdisk utility is the one off a Win98 boot disk.
When I used Disk Image to look at the partitions on both drives, it shows that the WD has an Unallocated partition which is the size of the partition I cannot delete.
Do I need something like IBM's ZAP utility o get rid of this?
