Hello Everyone, as my name says I'm new here as well as to linux. Played a little with it and have a little knowledge. I have a question, I managed to install RHEL5 on my laptop and now I'm trying to install windows on top of it and make it a dual boot system. I tried to install WindowsXP by making CD-ROM as the primary booting device with Win XP OS CD in it, but after the first prompt which says something like "Press any key to boot from CD" all I see is a blank screen and it doesn't proceed any further.

Following is the information pertaining to my system.

[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00

/dev/sda1 99M 12M 82M 13% /boot
tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Please advise. Appreciate the help in advance.

Sincerely,
Max
