    As far as i can tell Ace as youve wiped the drive it was located on
    The registry entrys are pointing to something thats not there so it may well show in add/ remove but it wont find the uninstaller as its not there

    My suggestion clean your registry with a good cleaning program

    reg supreme is a winner, but its only a 30 day trial will do for what you need

    If you havent used a reg cleaner for a while be prepared for a large amount of results, i done a machine this week and removed 987 invalid entries

    Well that is strange Ace, ive never used the program so im not to sure on the specifics of it, isnt it a boot manager that comes with partition magic
    So maybe it leaves traces on your first drive,do a thorough search for boot magic and delete anything found on your main drive

    You may have to manually search your registry for this program, as when set-up launches its obviously getting the message that its already installed
    Start regedit and use the Find Next option from the edit tab, delete anything boot magic,after each search just keep pressing find next until its searched your whole reg painful i know
    Always pays to back up your registry before you do this see here
