Re: Dual Boot Problems

[Baoqing Ye <baoqing Basit COM>]

   I guess there is something to do with hardware or bios compatibility.
    I have successfully installed multi OSes on a 10 giga drive and 20
giga drive, but unable to install the same onto another 2 machines with 16
gig disks. One crashed Windows, another one RH didn't work properly.
