I did not know that you had BootMagic.
Follow the instructions for backing up your MBR (a safety net is always a
good thing).
If you insist on BootMagic, then boot your PC using the BootMagic rescue
disk. Restore BootMagic and all is well! (If you didn't create a BootMagic
rescue disk, then use the boot disk that I instructed you to create in a
previous E-mail and boot your PC with it. Next, change to the BootMagic
directory on your Windows partition. Finally run the BootMagic executable
file. Once the BootMagic program is loaded, enable the option to load the
BootMagic IPL code to the MBR.)
HTH,
Matt
