Subject: booting up: linux and windows xp

hey everyone,
I recently built a computer with windows xp and linux red hat.  I installed
windows xp on hard drive "0", followed by red hat on hard disk "1".  I can
boot up linux fine, but i am unable to boot up windows xp.  Do i need a boot
disk, or is there a way to make a screen pop up similar to in win 98 where
after an error i could choose between "safe" and "normal" mode?

thanks

Did you install a boot manager with Linux (either GRUB or Lilo)?  During
installation of Red Hat you can choose where to put the boot manager and if
you choose hda1(Your hard drive "0") it will give you a menu, that you can
include Windows on, when you boot up.  I think this works with XP.  I use
Boot Magic, which comes with Partition Magic, with Win98 and Win2k and a
couple of linux distributions.
