WD6400AAKS partition table error #110 help

[px171m]

Have you seen this ?
Install the WD6400AAKS, run partition magic 8.05 from hiren boot cd, if I create partition(s) to use up the whole hard disk, upon reboot, partition magic shows the drive having partition table error #110. If I use only up to 500GB, no error. Already use Western Digital Diagnostics to scan the media and no error.
Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0.554 does not seems to complain.
Thanks

Nope, but I never use a partition utility, but it sounds like partition magic doesn't like large drives.

I partitioned mine with the XP utility. Do you guys re-run the WDiag before and after the partition? I only ran it beforehand.

Windows XP does not complain when partition it with windows xp but after it is done, if I run partition magic, it will show the #110 error. If I don't run partition magic, I may never know about the #110 error.

#110 Partition table number of sectors is inconsistent

The hard-disk partition table contains two inconsistent descriptions of the number of sectors on the hard disk. This error is serious if both DOS and another operating system use the hard disk. Because DOS uses one description and other operating systems may use the other, data loss is likely once the partition is almost full. To resolve this problem, see the instructions in Resolving partition table errors.

Based on my most recent experience with Partition evilMagic, which will be my last, I would recommend getting rid of PeM and using XP to partition.
