RH/Win dual boot question


I succesfully made a dual boot machine after reading this page on the site http://www.poopoccurs.com/linux/grub.html everything was fine But I went to reinstall Red Hat 7.2 and I put it on the same partitions as before but now I dont have the option to boot into Win 2000 on the grub boot menu. I know it is still there on the partition because I can see it when I look at the hardware propetties in red hat and I see the NTFS sitting there where it should be but I just cant boot into the Windows side any more. (I have drwan a table of what my hard drive looks like with the partitions below) I was thinking because of the only hickup I had when re-installing the RH cd's was a pop up window that said something like "you have not selected a partition for /" you must specify where to put / before continuing I think it was talking about the root / partition or root / boot disk and so I went back and selected one of the partitions and I think Linux Ext2 5,843.9 (from the table below) is where I put tthe / (forward slash) (root) sign and I think that is where the problem is. Can you specify for me where to put the /

Partition Type Size MB USED MB Pri/Log

*. . Unallocated 7.8 0.0 Primary
*. . Extended 6,902.9 6,902.9 Primary
G: FAT32 502.0 1.0 Logical
*. . Linux Ext2 47.0 47.0 Logical
*. . Linux Ext2 5,843.9 5.843.9 Logical
*. .SWAPSPACE2 Linux Swap 509.8 0.0 Logical
C: NTFS 12,182.1 3,649.0 Primary

All partitions are on disk 1

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
