Hi everybody ! First I've got windows XP installed on my PC. My disk is partioning like this : one partition for Windows XP 12 Go ( NTFS System ) one partition for Linux ( 8 Go ) After installing Linux Red Hat 7.1, I cannot boot to Windows XP. The only choice I have is Linux. During the installation, Linux never asked to install Lilo. What can I do now to be able to boot on both system ? Do I have to format all my disk and re-install Linux and Windows ? Why does linux never asked me to install Lilo ? Thank you Patrice

You must have lilo installed otherwise how are you booting into linux??? (grub?? assuming you have lilo, edit /etc/lilo.conf with root access and at the end of the file add other = /dev/hda1 #The windows XP partition label = Windows XP table = /dev/hda Where /dev/hda1 is the partition of your XP (hda1 = 1st partition - not if XP lives in a extended partition the numbering will be offset) need more info to give better solution

Hi Patrice, I have Windows XP on my system. I want to install Windows XP and Linux on the same Hard drive. How did you do the partition on windows XP? Thanks Amit

Hi: I used Partition Magic to carve-up my hard Drive. It initially only had Windows XP(Home). I installed Linux in the new partition. I fllowed all the instructions to make sure I have an option of both Linux and XP on the HD. But when I boot up, it only gives me the option to boot up to inux and not a choice of Windows XP and Linux.I installed grup. Why is this so? Is there a way that I can still access the XP? I desperately need information stored there. Thanks. Janet
