Okay, back to "Auto" mode.

Can you boot directly to either your OS/2 or Windows partition? Use
your Partition Magic to make the desired partition "Active", then boot
your machine. The motherboard BIOS looks at the primary partitions (on
all drives) and boots to the first one it finds that's marked "Active".
Use Partition Magic's "Advanced .. Set Active" option (I think).
