Use the Red Hat installer to partition the disk, it has more options than Windows. The Linux installer doesn't show the fdisk commandline, but provides a GUI (a fact that *I* hate...). Then abort the Linux installation and install Windows first *only* in the pre-made Windows partition. Install Linux last to get the better boot loader. > 2. Install XP on first partition > 3.

Download nvidia driver and install in Linux That's about the way I would use, just be careful about the nvidia driver, there seem to be some problems which affect other hardware. Sorry, more isn't known, it's closed source. :-( > I know I can make a boot disk to start Linux, but i would like to have > the user choose if he wants to boot to Linux or Win XP when the > computer is started. Does this require installation of Lilo? Is it > possible that it will mess up the boot information for XP? Just let LiLo or, even better, Grub do the trick. Both will autodetect Windows and offer you both systems at boot, but LiLo has a problem booting from above 1024 cylinders which Grub doesn't.
