If you want bootmagic to load linux:
Hopefully you allowed linux to create a /boot partition all is own?
Take your little boot disk and boot up linux, Then run linuxconf and
under the lilo section have it move the loader code to the /boot
partition instead of the MBR. i.e. /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda .
Don't verbatim my example, check your system and use the real numbers.
Now go into winblows and configure it in PQmagic.
