I also dual boot my systems. Windows was installed first, as you should
do to make live happy. Linux will do NTFS but read-only. My Linux
install is SuSE 8.0 running ext3. if you have linux installed after 2k,
then it should pick it up on the RH install. Win2k is a pain in the neck
to deal with multiple Oses, but if memory serves 2k on install will do
the boot.ini for you, although I don't trust Micro$oft to do anything
right.

Thanks Federico and Steve.

What file format do you guys format you file system under? My is NTFS.
Grub can pick up FAT but do not like NTFS.

Federico, I assumed the 8mb partition you mentioned is in HDA(first
drive)
right.
Also, do I need to format it in NTFS or Linux?

Thanks guys

You have to use a utility called Bootpart, you can find it on the net,
it
modifies the boot.ini of win2k to add OSes to boot.
Before that though, you have to create a small partition of about 6-8 Mb
at
the beginning of your HD and you format it exit with mount point /boot
and
install lilo or grub there.
Then you add that partition with Bootpart and you have a full dual boot
PC
with w2k and Linux.
It is a safe and fairly easy process, I did it tons of time.

Hope helps,
Federico

I had installed the WIN 2k on the HDA and RH 7.2 on HDB.
WIN 2k format in NTFS, everytime I want to boot RH I have to boot it
from
the floppy disk.
Is there anyway that I can use LILO or SCRUB to have the boot option
installed on the MBR?

Thanks
