You'll have to start it at a dos prompt or change the shortcut as appropriate.

IE: C:\admin\pq_pm\Win9X\PMagic9x.exe /ipe

For some reason it sees the boot partition as corrupt but with the /ipe 
switch it manages fine but you cannot move the boot partition.

You can also use the dos version: "pqmagic /ipe"
