dual boot?
 

how exaclty do you go about dual booting with Red Hat 8.0 and Windows XP, i have one 120 gig hd that i want to use... is it possible?

u can use grub.

yes first install xp and then redhat
boot manager config when installing redhat
and search this forum or google or at

doing a dual boot between RH and win xp is pretty easy as long a s you follow the install!! it is pretty straight forward. Boot up with your Rh Cd in your drive and you are off!! Install your boot loader to the MBR but make sure you put a boot name on your windows partition!

try this website it will hep you out

good luck!

I've got xp and linux on my thinkpad. works pretty well but you have to follow set up correctly. put your linux on after loading XP otherwise xp will wipe everything.
only thing I cant do at the moment is look at the windows partition from linux, not sure why yet
good luck

the only way you can look at your windows partion from linux is if the windows is on another box as far as i know!! i know samba will let you look at a windows partion from linux and vise versa but as for being able to look at your windows from linux on the same bos i do not think you can do that !!

if you find a way let me know!

You can look at your Windows space in Linux on the same machine, but only if the Windows space is mounted. You will want to mount the XP space as read-only, assuming that XP was installed on NTFS, as NTFS write support is iffy at best under Linux. Many people report that they can write to their NTFS space from Linux with no problems, others report horrible things happening to NTFS. Just remember that NTFS write support in Linux is experimental, therefore iffy.

thanks for the tip!! i will not try it untill i get my larger drive just becuze i have like 17 gigs of mp3s not backed up so if it is iffy then ....


thanks again though!:D
