Boom Dual Boot with RH 9.0 and Xp

I am trying to load Red Hat in the same Drive as XP. I made a partition for RH but when i try to install RH it says it cant find a hard drive to load to. I have no idea how to fix this, if anyone can help please do.

It's advisable to delete the partition you made for RH, then run the installer and let it do the partitioning for you... just be careful not to erase your existing XP partition

The native installer will do a fine job as will Partition Magic 8. Backup your important stuff and here is a little added insurance: http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q305595

I don't know if you have configured a Windows/Linux dual boot before, but I know of a great guide for it written especially for XP and Red Hat 9.0.
