Loading windows on a dual boot
I want to dual-boot Windows 98 and Redhat 7. My scheme for doing this is to partition into:
A FAT32 partition for windows
A Linux partition for root
A swap partition
A boot partition
My question is: At what point do I setup windows on the FAT partition? Would I do it from the command line once linux is set up, or during setup?
Thanks,
Furtoes00

Hi,
I have a dual boot server with Windows on C0t0d0 and Solaris 10 on C1t0d0. When I do a reboot it automatically boots with Windows as default without an option to boot onto Solaris. I want to set Solaris as my default boot.
any ideas?
