    Question Partition Magic/Boot Magic prob

    I gotta prob. I have Win XP installed on one big 30Gb partition. About 29,306 of it is NTFS, but I have a niggly 7.8MB unallocated (see pic below).

    No matter what operation I try, I can't merge the two partitions. I can't delete the 7.8MB, can't merge the two partitions and can't resize the main partition within Partition Magic 7.0.

    Is this 7.8MB partition meant to be there? And if so what purpose does it serve?

    Another thing, I was keen to install Linux Mandrake 8.0 on a 5Gb partition and use Boot Magic 7.0 to dual boot. Problem is, Boot Magic 7.0 won't install, it says I have no FAT32 partition on my main partition. That's true, I haven't, it's all NTFS.

    Anybody know of a way round this?
