Removing boot magic remnants from boot record

[Guest]

I Had a multi OS boot system, with Boot Magic" installed. After swapping from Win98/Linux to purely Win2000, formatting drive to NTFS, I still get Boot Magic error screen on boot up and I have to select "boot to active partition" manually. Can I access the boot record and remove this annoying last remnant of Boot Magic so that my system will boot normally?

Thanks.

I believe you need to fix the mbr:

If you have dos with fdisk you can do this

fdisk /mbr

Thanks guys!

Good suggestions, I tried the console one and it worked.

The FDISK is another good utility that I didn't think of.
