Alan is correct, but I am a little suprised that he did not offer you the
solutions, it must have been that time of night.
1) You can resize your Win partition so that it is less than 8G ,or
2) You can create a small fat partition at the beginning of you HD. When I
say small I mean 20-50MB
Adopting either of these options should allow you to install BootMagic
