the way i do this is start the redhat installation. I when i get to the
partition of the disc, I set it up as follows
boot
swap
linux
windows
The size of these partitons depends on disc memory and personal
preference. I also make the windows partition the active partition
Once the Redhat installation gets past the partitioning, I reboot and
start the windows installation. I would recommend formating the windows
partition with windows. Once this is complete redo the Redhat
installation.
During the Redhat installation it will give the choice of adding starting
other OS's and which one is the default to start up.
Becareful at the partitioning during installation
The nice thing about this process is, it is possible reinstall windows
without loosing the Redhat installation or going through this process
again.

I have a Dell with a single 73 gig disk drive I want to have XP and RHEL 4 on
it.
My question is when I install XP first how do I setup the partitioning? I've
read where the first
1024 cylinders should be FAT32 and this will be for XP of up to 6GB. Is this
required or can I setup each partion as
NTFS?
Does the Linux boot partition have to be in the first 1024 cylinders?
Will an NFTS partition be able to load the Linux boot loader?
How sould I edit my grub.conf so that I can pick which OS I want to boot?
Thank You
