Hi Dheeraj, If you can afford to loose data from previous RH install, do the following, I have done it so I know it works, and I hope is the fastest method.
Boot the system maybe using your RH6.2 CD. using fdisk remove all the Linux partitions, Not the Windows ones. reboot. Boot using Win98/MSDOS boot disk. give command fdisk /mbr Reinstall RH 6.2 Enjoy Kapil Sethi System Administrator BharatConnect Ltd.
