Did coversion to NTFS from FAT32 mess things up?

[Richard]

BootMagic must be installed on a FAT partition. So, if you have an NTFS
system you must create a FAT partition.

My system was FAT32, which is okay, I installed BM on FAT, but I went and
converted it to NTFS.

Now I cannot boot from my HDD. Did the conversion mess up BootMagic
program?

Nothing said in the User Manual that I can see.

I can acess the unbootable HDD. Any idea if a manual install will cure the
problem?

Okay, I just reversed conversion, went back to FAT32, and my HDD now boots
up. I *think* problem was caused by BootMagic not working on an NTFS
partition.
