install windows first, on to either hard drive. then install linux. linux will see the windows installation, and will give you a nice menu to let you boot into either windows or linux when you start your computer. make sure linux doesn't try to install over your windows, but rather on the other hard drive.

Start reading at the linux Documentaiton project. http://www.tldp.org/ Not only will it answer that question, but hundres of others - many that you wouldn't know you should ask! So read anything that looks like it might apply.
Some of the info there is dated, but it will at least get you started. There are several windows+linux how-tos, read them all, and decide how to do it. (there are several because there are several different, ways to do this that are correct)
The short answer is you install windows, then linux, being careful not to overwrite windows with linux. (it is easy to make a mistake so take your time and make sure you understand where things are being installed.
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right, changes to, or comments on those documents are generally welcome. Send them it. It is hard to write a guide to help a new guy when you are not new, so that perspective isn't always perfect.

I recommend you to install winxp first on the C: drive. Then install linux on the D: drive. You should read the information from Redhat linux manual in the section of disk partition.[^].

What do you mean from here? Do you mean the menu of OS choice or you want to swap the parition after both OS have installed?

Read redhat linux boot loader configuration manual[^], then you will have some concept about working with the Operating system start menu.

you usually don't have to worry about that... linux automatically installs a boot menu, and if you have already installed windows (which you should have if you want to dual-boot), it is usually automatically added to your boot menu. in most linux installation apps (yast for suse, anaconda for redhat), they give you the option to change boot preferences and order and things...

Is Windows installed ?
is Linux installed?
which version of linux are you going to install?
in any case, if you have windows installed, on the "c" drive, and you have a "D" drive thats ok, how much room do you have left on your hard drive(s)?
do you have 2 physica drives or 1 drive partitioned?
when you pop in the linux cd it will read your configuration, and prompt you to auto partition or manual partition. if you don't know what you are doin, or the slightest bit confused, DON'T DO ANYTHING YET!!!!!
reply and and i can point you in the rigt direction

first as a suggestion, dump red hat 7 and downlod fedora core II . much nicer as it is a lot like XP
second: figure out which one OS you want to have loaded on your hard drive. messing around like his could mess up your HD permantly!!!!
the easiest way is to install WinXP first. make sure you have room for your linux install. min of 6-8 Gb
depending on what you install from the linux distro.
if you don't have enough room on your HD, i would suggest some type of disk utility to remove the D & E partitions. or, tooos in your XP CD and do a fresh install. when it comes to partition size, create a partition size of 10 GB for windows. lave the rest free unpartitiond space.
do your install of Xp and then put in your Linux Cd and follow the screen prompts. if your not sure, download the redhat install manual from their site. when it comes to the partitioning, choose automatic. if you want to do the manual way, read the following
*********************************************
• A swap partition (at least 32MB) — swap partitions are used to support virtual memory. In other
words, data is written to a swap partition when there is not enough RAM to store the data your
system is processing. The size of your swap partition should be equal to twice your computer's
RAM, or 32MB, whichever amount is larger.
For example, if you have 1GB of RAM or less, your swap partition should be at least equal to the
amount of RAM on your system, up to two times the RAM. For more than 1GB of RAM, 2GB of
swap is recommended. Creating a large swap space partition will be especially helpful if you plan
to upgrade your RAM at a later time.
• A /boot partition (100MB) — the partition mounted on /boot contains the operating system
kernel (which allows your system to boot Red Hat Linux), along with les used during the bootstrap
process. Due to the limitations of most PC BIOSes, creating a small partition to hold these les is a
good idea. For most users, a 100MB boot partition is sufcient.
Warning
Do not create your /boot partition as an LVM partition type. The boot loaders included with Red
Hat Linux cannot read LVM partitions and you will not be able to boot your Red Hat Linux system.
• A root partition (1.7-5.0GB)—this is where "/" (the root directory) will be located. In this setup,
all les (except those stored in /boot) are on the root partition. A 1.7GB root partition will permit
the equivalent of a personal desktop installation (with very little free space), while a 5.0GB root
partition will let you install every package.
***************************************************
Notice the sze of partitions you need?
root --> 1.7 gb - 5.0 gb
swap --> up to 2 gb
boot --> 100mb
+ any etra partitions you want
you might want a FAT32 partition so you can share file between linux & Windows.
as for a type of install, do a "desktop install"
like i said in a different post, read th documetation.. at this url in pdf format
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/pdf/rhl-ig-x86-en-9.pdf
hope this helps

when OS start, it call Master Boot. Master Boot include Partition Entries.
Partition Entry has BootSector. And Boot Sector has system information and a [B]code [/B] to load OS into memory, right?
I want to ask that What structure of this code? what language make it?
And how to add one by myself?
In addition, when OS load itself into RAM, What file it will load?
Give me an example when DOS load into RAM (and maybe Windows too)
Thanks

i know that on linux it's the /boot/vmlinuz file that is the kernel, and that gets loaded into memory first...
i also know that windows nt/2k/xp/2k3 looks at boot.ini in your root (c:\) to see where to find the kernel, and that the ntldr file in your root is also used in the boot process... don't really know much more than that however...

Hi, my computer have 7GB of HDD drive. I run windows xp pro on the 4GB space. For the other 3GB I did not use it so I leave it as unpartition space. But now I want to install linux redhat 9.0 on the 3GB unpartition space. How should I do that? I also have a document about installing linux but the demonstration will take all of the disk space of the user. But what I want is how to cofigure the HDD, RAM drive... by manually. Can anyone could help me to solve this problem???

The header of your message and the contents are in conflict with each other. Which one is correct, do you want to install Linux in the unpartitioned space or on an existing Windows partition? Have you read the Red Hat Linux 9 installation guide, especially Appendix G?

Yes, that what I need. I have a magaizne about linux and tell every step to create the partition for linux (such as swap, root...) without affect to an existing winxp partition. But now I lost that magazine, so I don't know how to install it.

Is it good to install 2 OS on one partition?
<italic>Work hard and a bit of luck is the key to success. You don`t need to be genius, to be rich.

In my opinion, NO. Because you will replace the folder Program Files on the second installation of the operating system. And there are many file that are replace by the latest one.

You know when you try to grab stuff from SourceSafe, first you need to be granted access to "srcsafe.ini" file. Sharing the file on local intranet can be done by configuring file share. What if you want to access file over unsecured connection/Internet?
Any pointer? Thanks.

You'd have to host it on a server on the Internet, with a fixed IP address or dynamic DNS registration, with the file sharing ports open, as a file share. This is a pretty bad idea.
I suggest you look into Virtual Private Networks, at adapters such as SourceOffSite[^], or replacement source control solutions such as Vault[^]. I'd recommend one of the latter two because Windows file sharing performance is pretty poor over a slow link.
No, I don't work for SourceGear, but I'm a satisfied user of Vault, which works great over HTTPS over the Internet (maximum speed 256Kbps because both ends are on ADSL with 256Kbps upload speed).
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
