i have bought a new 80gb hdd...and want to install WinXP sp2 and Redhat 9.0 on it...
i have three Q's, (1) what should be an ideal partition scheme? and (2) should i use grub as boot loader at mbr or some third party tool at mbr and grub at first sector of linux boot partition?
and finally,
(3) Is there a way to use XP's Boot.ini as boot loader for linux..without any third party tool or grub instead?
here let me tell u that Xp will be used as my main os and linux will be as for testing as multimedia workstation..
my current choice is a 10gb C holding my WinXP and program files. 30 Gb as movies and games & songs, 25 gb as softwares & my documents, and finally 10 gb to Linux...(Hope it may install in it)
