Drive Overlay Software
- Drive overlays, such as Ontrack DDO, Microhouse EZ-Drive or Pro-Drive, Maxblast, WD DDO, and Seagate DDO, provide your computer with access to larger disk drives. PartitionMagic is compatible with these programs only if the drive overlay program is loaded before PartitionMagic.
If you boot your computer from a disk, the overlay will not load, and PartitionMagic will not get the correct information from your drive. You can boot from a disk and still load the drive overlay by completing the following:
1. Start your computer as if you were going to boot from the hard disk.
2. Press <Space> or <Ctrl> when prompted.
3. The drive overlay information appears with an option of booting from a disk. Select this option and insert the boot disk when prompted.
