Repeating what I've been told:
Windows apparently has the endearing habit of assuming it'll be the
only OS on the machine, and dumps its own bootloader onto the MBR with
that assumption operating.

If you're planning to add RH8 on a third partition, it would make sense
to do that last. It's less arrogant, and willingly adds any other
OSes it finds into the bootloader config. That way, you'll get all three
installs selectable at boot.

I'll second the advice about having a rescue disk handy, though :)


I'll re-emphasise that this is hearsay, as I haven't dual-booted since
about 1998, and then only to add Linux onto a shiny new box.

Hope this helps.
