Red Hat 7.3 and Win XP
People, im having trouble installing red hat and win xp in the same machine, it just won`t create the double boot.
Can anybody give me a hand?
Im installing win xp in C and red hat in D.
I´ve selected both grub and lilo as loaders in the mbr of hda0, but when i do this, mi original xp just wont start.
Could anybody tell me which os should i install first and any hints about double boot.
Thanks a lot for your time
