dual booting with win2k & RD 7.0

[raven1]

Hi all,I'm new to the linux world and would like to know how to have the option to boot into RD.I have win2k on the first partition and then RD It does not give me the option when booting up so I tried to edit the boot.ini file but to no evail,I have it saying "redhat" but when i hit enter it gives me a windows error.Does anyone know the how I can edit the boot ini to boot into RD? here is what my current file says
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
Thank you!!

If you want to boot with Windoze's NTLDR...

Boot into Linux and copy the boot image from the first sector of your boot partition. You'll want to take 512 bytes of this partition once, and write it out to a file called bootsect.lnx. The entry should look like:

dd if=/dev/hdX of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

Move that file onto your c:\ drive and edit boot.ini, adding the following line:

c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"



I prefer to use a Linux bootloader such as GRUB or LILO, rather than NTLDR.

ok,so I did all that and then booted up from the floppy disk with the image files,It installed and booted into redhat which is where I can log on.BUT after rebooting again I never had the option to go to win2k.I had command fixmbr from the win2k disk to get back into windows.Now no linux again!####! This is terrible so I will go back to windows till I learn more about RD.Thanks for your help though.Your awesome!
