        In my case, its still a fixed SCSI HD, but I also have a removable
SCSI HD--not that it should make any difference to the software (it doesn't
to any other software).

        The key might be this difference:  Do you *boot* off your SCSI HD?
In the case of having a mixed environment (i.e. IDE & SCSI drives), you
have to boot off the IDE and use drivers to handle the SCSI drive(s).

        I'm thinking the fact that the SCSI drives (in my case) are
driver-driven might prevent Parition Magic from doing its thing.
