I have just set up a dual boot system on my computer, Things aren't going too well though i'm afraid to say . I have set up a dual boot with Windows XP and RedHat 7.3. My system spec is ASUS A7V-266-E Motherboard, 256meg PC2100 RAM, Ge-Force 2 Ti 200 64Meg, Athlon XP 1600+, one seagate 30gig 5400Rpm hard drive and one 80gig 7200rpm hard drive. My indows XP is installed on the 80 gig which is partitioned into 2 32gig and one 12 gig partition. Red hat 7.3 is installed on the 30 gig. When the grub boot loader loads up there is 3 versions of red hat available (They are something like, red hat linux-up (2.4.18-3), red hat Linux-srp (2.4.18-3) and red hat Linux (2.4.18-3 BIGMEM)) and Windows XP. When i try to load one of these Linux versions and log in with either my guest or root account i get a segmentation error and the guest account doesnt load the grey bar at the bottom (I'm new to Linux) I though maybe the guest acount isnt meant to have one but its when i try to load things i feell like crying, It is so slow! I think if my computer can run UT2K3 on nearly full graphics quality with no slowdown it should be able to cope with chromium but it just cant it runs awfully slow for about a minute then crashes. Please can you give me some advice on how to speed things up and let me know whether there should be them 3 versions of linux in the boot manager. The boot also fails on loading the Eth0 (?) but carries on (is there any button i can press to automatically fail this straight away rather then having to wait 10 minutes to fail it anyway?). If you know anything that could help me get linux to run faster please let me know as im dieng to start getting into it.
Thanks.

I think you had better post this one in the newbie forum where you have better changes on a reply.

Maybe a moderator can move it for you?
