So does the "/boot" partition need to occur before some cylinder/block value in order to work (i.e. within the first 500MB of disk)? i.e. Partition 0: 75MB (VISTA boot partition??) Partition 1: 100MB (RH /boot) Partition 2: 120GB Vista Free Space of 20 GB for RH Partition 3: Vista Recovery Thanks. -Jim -----Response Message----- I would agree with what you have heard, and not install RH first. The first thing is to get the drive partitioning of the drive done first. One trick which I do is make the windows partition the active partition. With this configuration, it is possible to reinstall either os with out impacting the other os. (I have not tried this with vista) david -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
