Redhat dual boot problem

[Rajesh]

Thanks for your reply. I managed to fix the problem. It's a test machine so
I didn't have to backup anything.

I believe it was BIOS 1024 cylinder limit problem. I created a smaller
partition (7GB) for windows 2003 and reinstalled windows 2003. Later
I installed Red hat linux on the remaining hard disk. Now I can boot both
Windows and Red hat Linux.

Regards,
Rajesh.

I hoped that you backed up before installing another operation system.
can you access the Windows partition?  Can FDISK recognize your hard disk?
