Boot Magic rather than Windows default

I have a 13gig hard drive partitoned between 8gig Windows 98 and 4gig Windows 2000.
I installed Powerquest Boot Magic 6 so i can choose which operating system i want to boot and this works fine but after i choose which one i want, another Windows screen appears asking me which operating system i want.( Boot.ini )
Is there a way of only using BootMagic because i prefer it features rather than the default Windows screen.
