Hi! My problem is following: when I have tried to open partition magic 7, I got error message which said that my hard disk drive geometry is not good and that I should backup data, cause I can lose them. I havent idea why this is happening, and I am afraid of formatting hard disk, because I have a lot of programs and data which could take me days for install them again to hdd.

Well, this error occurs when you use some third party program for partitioning and when your hard disk is old. I think that would be the best if you use Norton Ghost for making image of all your partitions, and when you done that, just format your hdd, partition it and after you do that, just copy your images.
