Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
Then I boot off of Linux and install my distribution, leaving grub as the boot manager.
This will leave you with a system that shows a screen at startup with countdown offering you which partition to boot off of, and you can name them or change them later by editing grub.conf
A windows installation into an existing Linux system, which you did not say you did, usually results in a useless unbootable system.
I see no reason based on your hardware why this should be a problem, unless the bios is not compatible with Linux.
There are some bios options in certain bios, concerning plug and play operating systems that I usually turn off on dual boot boxes.

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
what do you mean by:
"not functioning after cold booting"
you can boot into windows but you don't see the option for linux?
I don't think (for now) that the problem is vendor related.I belive it's the installation issue.

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
as Steven and Alexander say, maybe it's
a "loader" issue.
In my opinion, you have to setup/install
a linux loader like GRUB or LILO.

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
Many thanks for your feedback. I was shipped the machine with DOS OS loaded. Thereafter following usual methods WinXP then Linux was loaded. But once the machine was shutdown and booted again --- "bootgui"--- was appeared on my screen.
I have both WinXP & Linux CDs with me. So Pl. tell me what I should do again after reinstalling the same.
HP service people conveyed me over phone that some bios setup in my 40GB SATA HDD need to be changed. I am worried of permanent damage in my PC by doing all such experiments.--- Regards

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
i have the same motherboard at home , mostly the same specification of your pc,
i installe WINXp on my pc first(i left a partition on my hard drive to be used for linux installation and then i installed linux on that partition choosing grub as a loader.
therfore ,you should during the installation install grub on the master boot record of your drive so that at booting grub detect the two operatin system (winxp and linux) and you can choose to boot the one you want .

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
Generally, you can find the driver from the SATA controller's website (for example, Silicon Image is a popular controller manufacturer.) HP may be giving you the run around because they won't provide this driver disk.
However, it doesn't sound like this is the problem you are having. When you install linux, make sure that you are choosing to use the linux boot loader (grub/lilo).

Re: Duel booting WinXP & Linux redhat on 915GV mother board
As i know, Linux OS is mother independent.. When it concern with patches... what patches need to be install.. is it windows patch.. ??? or linux patch ???
it does not make any sense...
u need to install Windows in diffrent partition. u should have some free space (not partition by windows) where u can install Red Hat linux...
1. Take a backup of all ur data in a CD.
2. First install WinXP (During installation format the hard disk and create one partition)
3. After installation of winxp, use disk manager to create some more partition. But keep some free space around 10gb for linux.. don't create any sort partition.
4.boot the machine using linux bootable cd.
5. During linux partition, select free available space.
Try this, hope it will hlp u to resolve ur issue..
cheers
