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

glutPopWindow -- Request to raise the current window to the top LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - window SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h> void glutPopWindow(void); DESCRIPTION
Request that the current window be brought to the top. A window can be in front of or behind other windows, as determined by the z-order from front to back. Top-level OpenGLUT windows can be placed at the front or back of the z-order by means of the glutPopWindow() and glutPushWindow() API functions. A z-order also applies to the subwindows of a top-level window. While the z-order of top-level windows can usually be adjusted by the user, subwindow z-order is controlled entirely by the application. If this has any effect on your window's visibility, you should receive a glutWindowStatusFunc() callback and a glutDisplayFunc() callback. CAVEATS
The z-order of top-level windows is ultimately managed by the windowing system. Therefore, a push or pop request by an OpenGLUT application may not necessarily succeed or take immediate effect. Not applicable to offscreen windows. SEE ALSO
glutCreateWindow(3) glutDisplayFunc(3) glutPushWindow(3) glutWindowStatusFunc(3) Epoch
