Need some help from the experts.

Installed Partition Magic 8.0 to C: (Win XP Pro) and set up a partition resize task. It said it had to boot to DOS to complete. When it rebooted it loaded Caldera DOS and a DOS version of Partition Magic. I did the resize through it and rebooted. Unless I use the boot manager from the motherboard (yes I can get back into Win XP) my computer will boot to Caldera DOS and start the DOS Partition Magic utility.

I have tried uninstalling PM 8.0 and still no luck. Any idea how to restore the original windows boot process (I also have a second windows XP installation on D:)

Thanks in advance...
