Linux- Boot Magic problem
I installed partition Magic 8.0 and Boot magic without problems. However, I later disabled Boot Magic thinking that's what I should do. I installed Linux. Now can't get BM back. Reinstalling gives me a message-
"Setup cannot find the location of where Boot Magic was originally installed. Make sure the volume Boot Magic is installed on or is visible, and assigned the same drive letter as at the time of install."
I probably muddied the problem more by going to partition Magic and deleting the "E" drive partition where BM was shown. What do I do now?
I think if I could uninstall and reinstall Boot magic, I'd be OK, but remove doesn't work from add/remove or Add Remove Pro because they can't find Boot Magic either. I'm waiting for a response from the BM folks, but no response yet. I've got XP Home on a Dell 4500S. Any ideas?

Here's the thing to do. Take your Dell back to the dealer (particularly if it is still under warranty) and have THEM undo your mistake.
