1. Known Issues
---------------

A. Making Copies of the Home Partition
--------------------------------------
If you make a copy of the home partition using software such as
PartitionMagic(r) or Drive Image(r), you will end up with two partitions
that look like the home partition.  The BootMagic configuration program
will not run under this situation.  If your hard drive is in this state, 
you must boot with the BootMagic Rescue diskette which will take you
through the steps needed to fix the problem.

B. Installing to a Compressed Drive
-----------------------------------
We recommend that you do not install BootMagic to a partition that 
already has disk compression installed on it.  If you choose to install
BootMagic to a partition with disk compression, we recommend you uninstall
the disk compression software from your disk before installing BootMagic.
For information on uninstalling your disk compression software, see your
disk compression documentation. 

If you decide to install BootMagic onto a drive with disk compression, 
you must make sure the portion of the disk that is not compressed (the host
partition) is large enough for BootMagic.  BootMagic must be installed on
the uncompressed portion of your hard drive.  For information on adjusting
free space from the compressed volume to the host partition, see your disk 
compression documentation.

For BootMagic to operate correctly, ensure the disk compression software is
configured to make the host partition visible and assign it a drive letter.
If your host partition is set to Hidden, BootMagic may continue to install
but you will not be able to run the BootMagic Configuration program or
uninstall BootMagic.  If BootMagic tries to install to a drive letter that
you are not aware you have, your system may have disk compression software
installed and it may have hidden the host partition.

C. IDE/SCSI drive mixes on Windows NT
-------------------------------------
If you are running Windows NT with SCSI and IDE hard disks, and you have
set your computer to boot from one of the SCSI drives, the drives may
appear in a different order in the BootMagic Configuration program than
they appear at boot time.  This can result in BootMagic failing to appear
after installing from Windows NT. 

Also, menu items added to the BootMagic menu under Windows NT may not be
found at boot time.  As a work-around, install BootMagic from DOS or
Windows 95 and run the BootMagic Configuration program from DOS or Windows
95.

D. Uninstalling the DOS Installation and Uninstalling Manually
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you installed BootMagic using the DOS installation and wish to
uninstall, or if you wish to uninstall manually, do the following:

Disable BootMagic in the BootMagic Configuration program by unchecking the
"BootMagic Enabled" check box and clicking the "Save/Exit" button.  Reboot
your machine and delete the \BTMAGIC.PQ subdirectory.
