Hello:
As far as I know, you will not be able to install WXP with another OS already installed on your system. At least not very easily! I have tried in the past and XP complains about needing a small "C:" partition at the beginning of the disk. I am not sure if there is a way to do it, but it is probably not worth the cost in time.

However, I have done something else that could be a solution for you. I coppied my RH partitions to a directory on my /home partition and then rebooted with a life CD and made a partition for Windows. After installing Windows, I made new partitions for Linux and coppied the files back to them. I ran lilo and that was it... Now, my system has XP and RH, without reinstalling RH. This might not be worth it though!

If you want mor info on how to do this, I can try to provide you with as much as I can...

OK!
