Using PQ to partition the hard disk with 1024 magnetic column boundaries

Just bought a piece of 7200.10 320G, PQ display when partitioning: "This partition spans the 1024th magnetic column boundary, may not be able to boot", and then can not install XP.

Answer: No matter whether it is 478 platform or K8 platform, there is no capacity limit of 137GB, so it may only be a problem of PQ (PowerQuest PartitionMagic) software. It may be older version, support for large hard disk such as 320G. Not very good, if the disk partition is built using third-party disk partitioning software that spans 1024 magnetic cylinder boundaries, it will not be able to restore the device driver software using the first load, you may wish to try the latest version of PQ (45IT.COM Xiaobian suggested replacing other partitioning software). In fact, this hard drive is new, you can use the partition program that comes with Windows installation, first delete all the areas that PQ points out, then separate the C drive, format it with NTFS mode, the remaining space After the installation is complete, go to Windows and use “disk management" to divide, this is the most insurance.
