Thanks Federico and Steve.
What file format do you guys format you file system under? My is NTFS.
Grub can pick up FAT but do not like NTFS.
Federico, I assumed the 8mb partition you mentioned is in HDA(first drive)
right.
Also, do I need to format it in NTFS or Linux?
Thanks guys

You have to use a utility called Bootpart, you can find it on the net, it
modifies the boot.ini of win2k to add OSes to boot.
Before that though, you have to create a small partition of about 6-8 Mb at
the beginning of your HD and you format it exit with mount point /boot and
install lilo or grub there.
Then you add that partition with Bootpart and you have a full dual boot PC
with w2k and Linux.
It is a safe and fairly easy process, I did it tons of time.
Hope helps,
Federico

I had installed the WIN 2k on the HDA and RH 7.2 on HDB.
WIN 2k format in NTFS, everytime I want to boot RH I have to boot it from
the floppy disk.
Is there anyway that I can use LILO or SCRUB to have the boot option
installed on the MBR?
Thanks
