Hi
I am trying to get another hard drive to install Redhat 9.0 and making a dual boot with my WinXP machine. My existing system have windows XP on an SATA raptor hard drive. I want to use one of my IDE ATA 133 drive for the Redhat 9 and making dual boot using GRUB loader. I wonder any one could show me how to do this.
Thank in advance

it is quite simple...if you have partition
magic, delete the windows partition from
the hard drive you want to install linux
on, then just toss in the redhad cd and
boot it..it will give you a option of where
to install it, you will want to click
something along the lines of "Manual
Partition", it will take you to a screen
and show you both harddrives, you want to
select the one that you want to install
linux on, set the mount point aand have it
format it and partition it and there you
go. just one thing and this is important
and the #1 mistake people do while trying
to dual boot. YOU DO NOT WANT TO DISSONNECT
THE OTHER HARD DRIVE, just take your time
seeing as redhat installs fairly quickly
and grub will detect the windows partition
and add it in

hope that helps, hit me up in an email if
you need more directions
