I have 3 identical 40Gb hard disks. Two are connected to a Promise Technology Raid card (Raid 0) and Win 2000 Server is the operating system.
The third (totally independant) disk has Redhat Linux 9 on it.
I would like to set this up to dual boot with Win 2k server. I do not know how to modify Boot.Ini in Win 2K or Grub in Linux.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks

Doubt if boot.ini can be made to boot linux, but grub will do both, (I'm using a dual boot win2k/rh9.0 now).

Post this in the linux forum, you may even find a 3rd party boot loader to do the job for you.

Thanks for your reply. Could you please expand on toyr message? I would think that some entry must be made to boot.ini? Also what changes need to be made to Grub?
A large part of my problem is that Win 2K lives on a two disk raid 0 array. The Promise Tech driver is Linux kernel specific. It works, but only with a way out of date kernel.
Any help appreciated
