You can access a windows partition from Linux, or a linux partition from windows. For example, you should search for things like "ntfs linux" or "ext2 windows" to find the necessary software for accessing a given filesystem from a given OS.

Do you have any free space on your drive? If not you will need to resize your existing W2K partition.
linux can read / write FAT32 partitions. Use W2K diskmanager to create a FAT32 partition and then format it. Then install RH on the remaining free space. I suggest using expert mode or whatever RH calls it to make sure you don't overwrite W2K. RH has install instructions on its website. |
