Partition Magic error... any suggestions?

[urameatball]

Everything works when I'm in windows...

I'm trying to resize my 100GB hdd set at 20GB primary (boot) and 80GB logical (for data).

because I plan on dual booting with winxp.
I wanted to resize my 20GB to 2x 10GB... everything works until I reboot and goes through the resizing sequence where it says "file size doesn't not match FAT application table" or something along those lines (I don't remember exactly).

anyone know of any other way to resize my hdd or a workaround for that problem?

what are the current file systems?
the
"file size doesn't not match FAT application table"
is worrysome since fat has a 2gb limit (or 4 gb if you use 64k clusters as i'm sure someone will point out). are you accidently trying to turn it into a fat fs instead of a fat32?
just a thought

yah, I asked to to goto FAT32.
I dunno why it keeps giving me a FAT error.
the error comes during the resizing of my 20GB partition. (which originally has stuff in it)
