Problem in dual booting installation of linux on windows
Dear friends,
I am experiencing the trouble while installing the Red Hat Linux 4 on top of windows XP, after booting its asking "What type of media contains the packages to be installed".
Steps I followed:
Step 1: left the free space as unpartitioned, (I also tried with the FAT32 partition).
Step 2: booting the linux cd
After booting its asking for keyboard information then the next is the one I have mentioned above...
My system configuration is
Processor Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz (2CPUs)
Memory: 2GB RAM
Hard disk: 250 SATA
I appreciate if any one can provide me with suitable sollutions.
Kindly revert if any further information requires.
Thank and regards
Suneel
