I am trying to dual boot XP Pro and Red Hat Linux 7.3. I am wanting to use the XP Boot Loader but I am not sure how to set it up to boot Linux. I have tryed the program bootpart but it does not work. Can anyone give me a hand here. Thanks

i used to use bootpart when i had windows on my computer, it should be quite straightforward. Make sure you add the right linux partition (where lilo/grub is installed) and also tell windows to display the list of operating system (right click on My Computers -> Advance Properties, etc.), check the boot.ini file on the root directory of your windows system partition and see if the entry has been added (it is a hidden system file so you have to tell explorer to show it)

my friend has told me that he was also successful in manually extracting the bootsector with the "dd" command in linux and put it in windows. bootpart do all this automatically from windows.

here is how i did it on XP with a NTFS using GRUB bootloader. It is pretty straightforward. GRUB actullay detect your NTFS XP partition if you give a NAME for this partition. At start it will display both the boot loaders. If you forgot to name while you installed, edit the /etc/grub.conf file: add the following title windows XP root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 Hope this helps.
