Partition Magic 8.0 Error 27

Just finishing up a new HDD install and normally, just after getting the OS and drives installed, I usually install Partition Magic and split the drive. I forgot this time and loaded on all the necessary software (so I would hate to reinstall everything from scratch).

Went to Partition Magic the HDD and keep coming up with Error 27: Can't lock the drive. Has anyone come across this error and, if so, what is the solution to get past it? What was your work-around?

 

Thanks
