Hello I have a redhat linux 7.2 and windows xp on my computer (I installed them!) is it possible for now to have a multiple boot at start up (from hard disk now I use floppy for linux)? If yes how? if no what should I do in next installation of my linux ? (my xp partitions are primary partitions and are ntfs)
