I presume you are talking of dual booting, since you can't change "wires" on the fly. Boot into linux and copy your kernel (vmlinuz) onto your windoze drive. Install the hd with linux as a primary slave /secondary master/slave (presuming that your windoze drive is primary master). Boot upto the dos prompt only. Copy loadlin from your RH installer onto your windoze drive and run loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb Note: hdb=primary slave, hdc=secondary master, hdd=secondary slave. Edit /etc/lilo.conf (attached is my lilo.conf) run /sbin/lilo -v Get explore2fs and install. Very useful. WARNING: do not write to your ext2 partition with this prog you are likely to come to grief.
