Situation:
While manipulating a partition using a Symantec utility, you see "Error 117: Partition's drive letter cannot be identified."
Solution:
Run PARTINFO to detect any partition table errors. If partition table errors are found, search the Symantec Knowledge Base for solutions to the specific errors. If no partition table errors are found, the problem may be due to a conflict that is seen only in Windows®. In this case, you should run PartitionMagic from the rescue disks.
If you are trying to delete, move, or resize a partition when you receive the error message, then try hiding the partition, exiting PartitionMagic, and running PartitionMagic again after the computer restarts. At this point, you should be able to manipulate the partition as desired.
