Can I install Redhat Linux 7.2 and Windows2000 Advance Server on same machine.If Yes then which one I should install first for better result.
If you can then please help me for solving my problem.

Thank you

Till now no body answer me.I couldn't understand am I posted a silly question or Should I think nobody can answer me?

I think you have to install W2K first, then RedHat. That is what I remember reading somewhere.

Either will work, but one way is more toublesome than the other :) . If you install windows2000 first, Red hats boot manager will let you pick windows if you want to. This is preferable..

If you have already installed red hat and not win2000, first make sure you have a floppy disk with this:
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/floppy/linux.bin bs=512 count=1

(replace hda3 with whatever your linux boot partition is and the floppy mount as appropriate)

Then after installing windows, copy the linux.bin file from the floppy to c:\ . Then, edit your boot.ini file in c:\ (it is probably hidden) , and add this new line
c:\linux.bin "Redhat"

When you start windows now , it should let you pick red hat.

Oh, and if you want an XP/rh dual boot, I havent been able to get Redhat to recognize an xp partition as bootable, so far only way 2 works for me...

p/s: the reason you need to do method 2 is because evil :dgrin: microsoft overites the MBR once you install win2000 and *gasp* it doesnt recognize redhat (how surprising ;) ) .... of course I have only used win2000 pro, so I am not 100% sure this applies to win2000 advanced server.

Hi!
Redhat 7.2 has both lilo and grub as boot loaders you can select any one. I really liked grub for it's cool looks ;)
What we usually do is install the boot loader in the partition where linux is installed rather that on the MBR. The reason is simple. With Windoze you would have to reinstall it some time or the other in the near present... where it would rewrite the MBR. So the best is to install the boot loader in the linux drive and set that as the active partition.

Have a great day :)

At very first I want to say thanks for all of ur posted messages.Now I installed it but as I experienced that first I should install win2000 Advance Server but it should install in FAT32 partition because of it will more safe for dual boot.After than you can install RedHat 7.1 and as I experienced there is only one option for LILO no option for grub as boot loader.

Thank you
