Duel boot problems/Help!

[OPUS1]

XP pro
software Raid
When I try to setup a duel partition using Partion Magic 8
I get error 27
error 983
Tried to chkdsk but it won't let me fix errors
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Partition Magic is very old. Why are using it?
You can use GParted live CD instead, which is free.

Keep in mind the cleaner way to multi boot is to put each OS on a dedicated hard drive. Then, you can keep them completely isolated.

Otherwise, if you dual-boot XP and Windows 7 the conventional way, and some day wipe out XP, you will have to reapir your W7 before you can boot to it again.

Maybe you should try a dual partition setup instead. Maybe you're getting errors because your partitions are dueling.

Which partition won the duel?
