It is SO easy....I thought I was going to have major
issues, but "Greg" on this board pointed me in the right
direction, and it was simple. Here's the easiest way to
do it..(This is assuming you are starting with a fresh
hard drive, or that you are fine with wiping it)
- Boot to Win2000 CD and when it asks you where you
want to install it, delete ALL the partitions and create a
new one for Windows.
- Install Windows onto that partition.
- When the installation is completely done, reboot with
the RedHat CD.
- When it comes to the partition stage, I used
DiskDruid (included w/RedHat) to make my Linux
partitions, make your partitions. I used /, /home,
/usr,/var,/tmp, and SWAP.
- When it asks where you want to install the boot
loader, choose GRUB and install it to the MBR. ALSO,
MAKE SURE TO SET NAMES FOR WINDOWS, I
think it defaults to Linux, so just highlight "Windows
2000" and write that name as well. Otherwise it WILL
NOT give you the choice to boot from Windows at the
GRUB screen.
- Install RedHat completely and reboot
-Enjoy!
