HI,

I have the same question. I have AMD 1.8GHz machine loaded with WinXP
and Linux redHat 7.1.Both are loaded on the same drive. I loaded WinXP
first and partitioned 4GB space for the OS as FAT format and then I
loaded with RedHat 7.1. But I can't boot dual OS and it looks 4GB is too
big for the Bios to see. If I use 2GB as WinXP OS and dual system will
be rebooted. But 2GB is too small to install other MS software. DO you
have any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks.
