I got my hard drive straightened out. I had to use OS/2's fdisk from a
floppy. Neither Partition Magic nor Win 98 fdisk would touch it.

Anyhow, the dfsee errors are gone and PM shows no errors. (I am thankful
my backups all restored successfully).

Two questions:
This may be because I have a new, 80 gig drive, but PM version 5.0 no
longer will run. It hangs up during the second floppy. PM version 7.0
works OK, but this version no longer supports HPFS. So, do I have a
corrupted PM V.5, or is the limitation due to the larger hard drive?

I hate to give up PM 5.0 because I don't know any other way to resize HPFS
partitions.

The second question is where to find documentation for dfsee. I did a F4
SAVE, but I don't know if that is the backup that Steven was referring to.
Also, I don't see where to restore values.

Thanks,
Sandy
