installing windoze under redhat 7.2


Hi everyone!


I'm having problems with wineX, which ask lot of stuff from windoze, and for this i have added a vfat partition on a hard disk. Now at start grub knows is there a vfat partition and asks me for me start option (linux / DOS) the question is:

How do you suggest me to install windows in the vfat partition, so it will not mess with the other (ext3) partitions in the Hard Disk?


Thank you all in advance

Hano

Just have a rescue disk/bootdisk for RedHat ready. Windoze will overwrite your bootloader, and you'll have to reinstall it from Linux.

Is the vfat partition the first partition on your hard drive? If it's not, proceed with caution, I heard some scary stuff happening to Linux when Windoze was installed not on the first partition of a hard drive.

Good luck!
