style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am trying to setup my computer to
dual boot Windows 2000 (W 2K) with Red Hat Enterprise Workstation v3 (RHEW). I
attempted to load RHEW on my SATA hard drive but it didn’t work because
the hard drive controller card’s manufacture doesn’t have a
software driver for RHEW yet. I tried to use a driver for a different version
of Red Hat that they offered but it didn’t work either. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am now trying a different
approach. I have installed a second, IDE hard drive, that I am sure RHEW will
recognize. I partitioned the new hard drive per the instructions in the RHEW
installation guide with Norton Partition Magic. I have loaded RHEW on that
second hard drive with Disk Druid and it seemed to go well. I then modified
the boot.ini file with the line “L:\Linux.bin=”linux””.
“L:” is the primary partition on the new hard drive that I chose as
the boot partition for RHEW. </span></font></p>
