Default How Do I Move Partition Magic's Boot Manager?


When I began using XP I installed it on a new bootable partition using
Partition Magic's BootMagic so I could migrate to XP at a convenient
pace. I also have a third special purpose bootable partition.

I'm now ready to eliminate my original Win98 partition. When I try to
install BootMagic on my main partition (XP) it won't install saying
BootMagic is installed on another partition and must be removed from
that partition before I can install it in XP. It's installed on my
original Win98 partition because that's how things all began.

So, I will have to be in the Win98 partition in order to uninstall
BootMagic, and after I uninstall it it won't exist on my computer at
all. The way I get to the XP partition is by using BootMagic (which
will no longer exist). So, how am I going to get back to the XP
partition?

It seems like a Catch 22 to me.
