Okay, I had WInXP installed on a 60GB Partition and decided it was finally time to installed Red Hat 9 so I used partition magic to partition off some remaining space for linux and install a 500MB SWAP file at the beginning of the now 53GB WinXP partition. I installed Red Hat 9 fine and I can boot to the loader but only Red Hat 9 Shows up (And Works Fine, except some applications lag).

Any and all help is appreciated, and Im relativley new to linux so Im pretty dumbfounded right now.

What boot loader are you using? Read its documentation. As I recall, GRUB is standard on Redhat.
Also, You should be able to go into KDE's config and find boot loader and set up windows there, if not, RedHat most likely proviedes a fancy tool for doing it, browse the menus.

One point you may find confusing, /dev/hda1 means 1st partition on Primary HDD, /dev/hda2 means 2nd partition on Primary HDD. You can check to see what's what by running 'cfdisk', but I caution you against changing anything in there; only look and use that to figure it out.

I'm not sure why RH is lagging, it might just be that it's bloated (I hope I don't get flamed for that).

Hope that helps

Yah, the bootloader right now is GRUB. Does anyone know how I add an additional OS to load?

Check KDE Control Panel. There should be a place to configure your boot loader. It should also automagically pick up all of your stuff (meaning windows and linux) and generate a working config file for it. Look for that, if it doesn't work, come back for help.

K, I think I can do that, if only I can find the KDE control panel Is it in the start panel?

Click the hat, then click 'Run Command', then type 'kcontrol' to get to the KDE control panel. I think it only configures LILO though. Red Hat may have tool for configuring GRUB. Here's how to do it manually by editing the /etc/grub.conf file. Try adding this paragraph for WinXP:

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Okay, I added that to the bootlog and now it boots to the windows login screen but restarts since some key files are missing. Im hoping that its just a few fles, but I think Linux might have overwritten some of windows XP Time to start repairing.

If you installed linux correctly, it's highly doubtful that it overwrote some of XP. It's always possible, but imho it's more likely that in the process of messing with partitions some of it got messed up.

I know this is probably stupid, but did you defrag your drive before partitioning? I've seen system files get wiped this way before

Yah, I hadnt defragged recently , Its not totally wiped out or so I believe. Im tring to find out how to get to MS-DOS command line from linux so I can repaid the windows install.

The whole windows partition was crapped up. I reinstalled XP and now Linux doesnt work. Im going to try to salvage some files then clear out the whole HD, hook up a seperate 60GB HD for linux, and install Terminal Services and hopefully that will work out. Im just so peeved that I lost about 2-years worth of files and easily $1200 worth of non-backed up PHP code projects. Thankfully I have a full HD backup from about 14 months ago, but I still lost so much info Hopefully Ill be able to get some of it back.

if you didn't do a full reformat, you should be able to get the files back. I hope you're able to recover your stuff, it's terrible to loose everything. I'm sorry

Good luck :-/
