bootmagic / mbr trouble

G

Guest

A while ago I partitioned my hard drive using Partition Magic and tried
(without success) to set up a duel boot system. To do this I had to create a
Fat32 partition to install Boot Magic onto. After a while I decided to get
rid of the Fat32 partition and abandon the duel boot idea. The problem is, I
didn't un-install Boot Magic before I got rid of the partition.
Now I want to try to duel boot again. When I try to run Boot Magic, It is
trying to find where it was installed origionally. My Boot Magic rescue
floppy is long gone.
I have tried to un-install and re-install Partition Magic. I have gone into
the registry and deleted anything that said 'bootmagic or btmagic'. Nothing
seems to work.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? Is it a Master Boot Record
issue and if so, how do I correct this??

Thanks

p.s. I have also tried to boot to a Win98 floppy and enter fdisk /mbr
without any success.
