Don't you have to tell SC when you have made changes to the
drive/partition configuration? Jordan and Ray should be able to comment
on this. I don't use SC myself, but I understand how it works and
probably own a copy. :-) IIRC, SC saves its configuration data in
subdirectories of the SC directory on the first FAT partition. I guess I
may have to haul out the manual.

What you need to do is configure BM to boot eCS properly and then tell SC
to update its settings to record the new setup.

Maybe not. You just need to understand how they might interact. It's no
different that using Partition Magic in an LVM environment. There are
procedure that will allow you to recover the LVM data that PQ might
clobber.
