Just didn't take the time to hunt for it. The irony of it is that I had a copy of SystemCommander v.7, buried since about two years. I am filing with Symantec for a refund, and I hope never to have to deal with anything from PowerQuest/Symantec again in my life. I now have a partially crippled system until I can get rid of the PartitionMagic and repair the damage it did. I finally talked them out of that, on grounds I just wanted to know how to back out of the whole thing without wreaking even more damage, but the "help" they offered wasn't any help at all. But Symantec wanted to charge me another $30 for technical help, on top of the $70 I just paid for the program the night before. Except PowerQuest doesn't exist any more. Rather, it gave me an exception dump to the floppy with instructions to contact PowerQuest Technical support. After I got that fixed, and after several more problems, it took more than two hours to analyze and reconfigure about 6 Gb on my 28 Gb E partition. First off, it destroyed the first mount point for my Linux. I bought PowerQuest PartitionMagic for the purpose, and then spent a frustrating night-till after 4:00 a.m., trying to get it installed and working. I have a dual-boot system-Mandrake Linux and Windows 2000-and I suddenly needed to expand my C drive in Win 2000 in order to install a new program.
This has to be about the worst thing I ever did to my computer in all my cyber history.
