Dear all
below are the steps to install and configure a machine with dual boot o/s Readhat Enterprise server and windows xp
suppose we have a hard drive which has two partition c and d
step 1- install 1st windows xp in c partition after the installation
step 2- install 2nd RHEL in d partition keep in mind during installation you have to install grub in MBR after the installation you will not be able to run windows xp
step 3- we have to configure windows xp we need windows xp installation cd boot with xp installation cd and get the recovery console option at recovery console prompt type
bootcfg /rebuild
after to give some option you will be able to run both RHEL and windows xp in a machine when you starts computer there is grub menu appear you have to select other option it will show you windows xp boot loader i have tested above mention procedure with windows xp with RHEL, windows xp with centos and windows xp with Fedora sucessfully if you feel some dificulty let me know
