PartitionMagic A.K.A. PartitionTragic

I had the very bad idea to install two OS's with the help of PartitionMagic on my Windows 2000.

I copied my data to a 200GB SATA disk and partitioned the original 80GB disk SATA 2 x 40GB.

After installing W2000 the nightmare started. I only have one OS installed (Windows 2000 Professional), however while booting it ask to select 1. Windows 2000 Professional and 2. Windows 2000 Professional!! Yes twice! Besides W2000 is terribly slow.

I tried to delete the 80GB partitions and start all over again, but it doesn´t work. Still the PartitionMagic stuff remains in the disk. Still asks to select between W2K Pro and W2K Pro and the computer is slow as hell.

Question: What should I do to delete PartitionMagic for good?

Thanks
