Red Hat, XP & Boot Magic troubles

Ok I had XP installed - fine. Partitioned with Partition Magic, installed Red Hat 8.0, installed Boot Magic. I cannot boot into Red Hat (unless using a boot disk). If I use Boot Magic, I get a message that simply says "Preparing machine to load 'linux'" and it just sits there. Red Hat is installed on a primary partition & when I check for errors using PartitionInfo, I see the error "MBR Partition Table not in sequential order."
