Linux & Windows on 1 HDD???


I have RedHat Frdora Core 3 Linux on my computer on one hard drive. Now I want to install Microsoft Windows XP Media Center onto my hard drive aswell but I'm afraid that it will install it over my Linux OS. Is there a way to install windows onto my hard drive without messing up my Li nux? Then one installed set a menu which will let you choose with which OS you want to start with? HELP!!!

No need to worry. The first thing you need to do is create a XP partition (I can't remember the name but I'm sure somebody else will oblige if you don't know).Then just install it as usual into that partition. Now you won't be able to choose your OS at the minute so get your linux CD and reboot with it in the drive. Now you probably need to do something along these lines. Select install then if it's anything like SuSE you get an installer which you'll have to abort then a list should appear. Select install again and there should be an option saying boot from hard drive. It should ask you which partition it's on which will probably be a reiser partition. Select that then when it boots up reinstall the boot loader. Now reboot and you should get the choice of OSes. Hope that helps I'm quite a newbie myself but I've done this a couple of times.
