Everyone,
I've seen conflicting information on whether this indeed a
preferred/required order to get Windows Vista and RH Enterprise 5 dual
boot
working correctly.
I installed Vista first on a 160GB hard drive. This is the current disk
configuration:
I'm not even sure how I would do it by installing VISTA first. I
installed it first with:
Partition 0: 75MB (boot partition??)
Partition 1: 120GB Vista
Free Space of 20 GB for RH
Partition 2: Vista Recovery
RH installation complained that there was no room for /boot partition
even though there was 20GB of
Free unpartitioned disk for RH (I'm guesing it needs to be "near the
front").
I've heard that Vista will wipe out the /boot information (or ignore any
other O/S that may be present) if I install RH first.
Currently I'm sitting with the above configuration and am thinking of
reinstalling with RH first.
Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
