I read all of the responses I got and found the best way to set up the dual
boot based on what different people said. My situation was as follows:
Windows NT workstation with one 6.4 Gig IDE hard drive partitioned into three
drives. (The computer is a Dell XPS H266)
First, from within NT I did the following:
After backing everything on my system up, I deleted the original D and E
partitions using Disk Administrator which gave me about 4 Gigs of "free space".
I then created two new partitions of 1.5 Gigs each so that I would have about
1 Gig of "free space". (To be used by Linux.) I then reformatted the drives
and did a little drive re-lettering that way I would end up with something like
the original configuration: C, D and E HD partitions.
Next, I rebooted and started the Redhat installation:
Using Disk Druid ('fdisk' couldn't find the "free space" for some reason!) I
created my system partition and swap space and continued with the installation
as usual. When I got to the LILO portion, I had Redhat install it in the MBR
and made an entry for the NT partition /dev/hda1 as "NT4". I completed the
Redhat installation and rebooted. At the LILO prompt, I typed NT4 [enter] to
verify that NT still worked. I was the presented with NT's Boot Loader.
everything worked like a charm. I restarted the system and let it boot into
Linux. everything was fine there too.
Quite Fine!
