ok... I built a new partition on my non win2000 hard drive,
with partition magic 6.0, my win2000 is ntfs, i had a dual boot operating system on my computer to begin with, running win98 and win2000... I wanted to start playin around with linux a little bit, so i made this new partition a linux partition, now i decided i want to remove that partition and realocate the free space to my win2000 os, but when i started up my partition magic up today to move the free space it gives me the message....
"Partition magic has detected an error 116 on the partition starting at sector 20739915 on disk 2.

The starting LBA value is 20739915 and the CHS value is 16450559 the LBA and CHS values must be equal.
Partition Magic has verified that the LBA value is correct and can correct the CHS value. "

Now my question is this, I have used partition magic before, and i dont remember if it was the same error, but i once got a message somewhat like this on another operating system, and i let it fix it, and it crashed the whole dang thing, I dont have any obvious issues occuring in any of my os's.

Should i let it fix it???

Thanks - Damion
