Help me with Red Hat 8
Nobber:
Doogee, if you're installing Windows 2000, it doesn't touch the MBR, so you don't need to worry about LILO or GRUB disappearing. Not sure what XP does.
Calum:
what's windows 2000 do instead then?
voidmain:
If you happen overwrite your MBR by installing Windows which causes the GRUB menu to disappear just boot from your Linux boot floppy (that you created while installing RedHat) and as root type "grub-install /dev/hda".

As far as I can tell, nuffink. When I installed Windows 2000 on a crisp new drive once upon a time, I was a little confused when nothing happened after the first reboot during installation. Problem: no boot loader! I had to pop in my Ranish Partition Manager disk, install a standard IPL into the MBR, and make the Windows partition active. After that, Bob was very much my uncle.
Doogee:
bob may have been your uncle, but was fanny your aunt?
