Hi, No not at all, it is enough to reload the boot loader alone, first insert rhl9 cd boot up, then select upgrade option, then choose the option install new boot loader and now u can install boot loader separately. else u can do it by: copy vmlinuz, loadlin files frm rhl9 cd #1, into c:\linux dir. then open a batch file named linux.bat, the contents be loadlin root=/dev/hda7 am not sure of the command, get help of loadlin. save the batch file in c:\linux, create shortcut for that in desktop and name it as linux. rightclick the short cut, then from prop, advanced tab, check the checkbox=> run only in ms-dos mode. Now double click the short cut, this will shutdown windows and boot linux. this is how u can boot linux frm windows, even if u dont have boot floppy, now after entering linux, install your boot loader either lilo or grub. any way it is always good to install linux @last after installing windows to avoid ambiguity with regards suresh babu m --- nithya kv <nithyakv2001@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hai > > i have some problem with installation red hat linux > 9. > > > ihad windows 98 & windows XP & red hat linux 8 in > my > system > > then i reinstalled red hat linux 9.0.it installed > correctly. > > > > then i uninstalled win98.i am not able to go into > linux os. > > > can change the boot file alone or should i reinstall > linux os? > > nithya > > > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
