Yeah, just change your BIOS (same as before) but this time set it to boot from the floppy. If all goes well, it should load up a bunch of drivers and will give you the option to install from CDrom. If that works then put windows on part of the HD. Save free space for RedHat. Get windows up and then go ahead and install RedHat. If you have any problems or questions on how to setup a dualboot, just start a new thread in the newbies section and myself or somebody else will get you through it.
Good luck dude.

I guess so, I haven't played with windows in a while. I think you might be able to use a Win98 boot disk if you have one.

Do some googling on how to create a boot disk for XP. I know there has to be something on how to do it.
