OS Selector crashes on install

This is a good start for disc partitioning software!

D/l the demo, and during the install OS Selector crashes and the install is aborted. Error file attached - hope it's useful.

Trying to unstall on a new Win XP partition. The disc also has a Win 98SE partition, created using PartitionMagic. The MBR of this disc would have been 'fixed' during the format/install of XP yesterday. There is also an empty FAT 32 partition awaiting its OS. Really don't want to go back to PartitionMagic.

 

Attachment should be attached now <g>.

Sorry, love to help, but it's more trouble than it's worth. Sticking with PartitionMagic for the present.
