Problems booting into RH 8.0 - no boot disk

[Pedron]

I had to remove grub because it wouldn't let me boot into windows XP, and had to boot from a floppy to get into redhat 8. Well, the floppy was booting into an older kernel version, so i attempted to fix it, and bye-bye boot floppy. I'm new to linux, if it isn't obvious. Is there a way to make a boot cd or floppy in windows xp for RH 8? And if so, where could I find a boot image to use?

TIA for any help

floppy boot images and documentation on how to make them are on the first redhat cd

ok - is it possible to edit these to load into the 18-18 version of the kernel instead of the 18-14?

Why not just fix GRUB?

because i don't know how. Every time it tried to boot into windows XP it gave me a read error 25. so loaded up windows xp, went into repair mode and did fixmbr

Not really, no. But presumably the 18-18 kernel is still on the hard drive somewhere, so you can create a new boot disk with it once you get back into the system.

So, any idea which boot image works? the ones on the first disk seem to be install boot disks..
