Windows 2000 server and Linux Redhat 8.0 dualboot question

[ConantheBarbarian]

I have a Dell OptiPlex GX1 and it has 2 HD's one primary the other slave. Primary has 40 gigs, slave have 10 gigs. I installed Windows 2000 Server on the slave and installed Linux Redhat 8.0 on the primary 40 gigs. I was wondering how can I do a dualboot after having installed both OS. Please give explicit details when dealing with Linux instructions as I am a newbie to it.

Thanks,
Conan

If you install Redhat after installing windows, it should set up GRUB for you automatically.

It'll call the W2K part "DOS" though

I did try that but here is the message that I got:

Booting 'DOS'

rootnoverify (hd0, 1)
chainloader +1

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable file

Post the output from:

cat /boot/grub/menu.list
/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda

There is avery nice progam called XOSL I dont have the the web address handy but you can do a Search on it on Google and it will come up. The guy that made this program or some one that was using it instaled over 100 operating systems on his machine and all could boot up, it dose this by letting you hide a partition or OS from other Operating systems during installs and boot up you tell it what to show and not show, that way you have no conflicts like haveing to use a fat 32 partion instead of NFTS. the new version also comes with Free DOS and a Partion manager that is supose to be good, though I never tried it used Pation Magic instead. Hope this will be of help to you.
