You didn't configure either lilo or grub during the installation for dual boot!!! Which bootloader would you like to use? I can send you a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf that I use to boot up Windows 98 and RedHat Linux. By the way, which Linux distro are you running on your PC now?

There's a few methods of doing this... First make sure that you have your linux partitions ready and that you have a valid FAT partition that contains Windows on it. If you have that ready, install linux on the partitions you want to use for linux and then finally linux should detect your Windows partition and install the boot loader with the two operating systems. If that fails you can also use linuxconf or edit lilo by typing lilo at the linux console.
