Has anyone successfully dualbooted this combo of OS's??? I tried to do
this over the weekend and failed miserably. I installed XP first and
that went fine. During the partition setup I left a partition for
linux as well as a swap space. So, after XP was working ok, I booted
to my 7.2 cd and installed Redhat and chose LILO as the bootloader.
During the install I had it setup linux as primary boot OS and added
XP as the secondary. When I booted with the final configuration the
LILO boot screen came up and showed both "Linux" and "winXP". I booted
linux first and it worked fine. After messing w/ that for a while I
decided to make sure my XP install still worked. Well, it didn't work
at all. I checked my lilo.conf and had:
other=/dev/hda6
label=winXP
I thought that looked right but still my XP wouldn't work. So, anyone
have any ideas how to approach this? Should I try the GRUB loader?
