Why not buy a later version of partition magic which comes with a later

I think I have version 8 which you can have for £5


Just downloaded the trial version of PM8 - Installed without problems

Activated Boot Manager - Found both OSs

Rebooted PC - Blank screen with a flashing cursor

Had to use Win 2000 CD and recovery console (FIXMBR) to get back to
where I was.

Interestingly Boot Manager option has now disappeared from the menu.

Also of interest PM8s Boot Manager is identical to Paragon's - which
also didn't work.
