    Hi again,

    I managed to reformat the entire hard disc in preparation for installing Win
    98 SE (UK) on the hard disc, by using PartitionMagic 6. However, after
    reformatting the hard disc and restarting the computer, I now get the
    following message at boot up:

    "Error finding BTMAGIC.IMG
    Run BootMagic install
    Press any key to boot active partition."

    The problem is of course, that while I have an active partition, there is no
    system installed yet. Therefore, I just get a blinking line and never get
    any further so that I can install my new system. How do I avoid getting this
    message at startup so that I can finally get to where I can install my Win
    98 SE (UK) system?

    As the Celvin is a legacy-free PC, all connections are with USB. Therefore,
    while I have a BootMagic boot disc, I cannot boot either with the floppy
    drive or the Zip 250 MB drive as they are both USB.

    Cheers,

    Brian
