Hi,
actually I use my WinXP system and RH 7.1 on the same machine and everything
works right. The key of the problem is the order of installation of the
operating systems. You have to install the Win2k first and then the Linux.

On the other hand I use LILO. I've no experiences in using grub.
An oter source of problems is when you define a too large boot partition. In
this case you have to configure LILO to use lba32 instead of linear mode.

I hope it will be useful.

best regards,
-- Csaba
