Jon,
    Thanks for the information. I will certainly give that a try. Could you
expand on what you mean when you said "Then all you have to do is point grub
to the other partitions and you should be set." How do I point grub to the
other partitions?

during install as C is Fat 32 - 500 Mb, D is NTFS - 5 Gb, E is NTFS - 1.5
Gb. I left the rest unformatted. The machine has a 20 Gb hard drive, CDROM
and floppy with 128Mb of Ram and 1 Ghz CPU. I want to install RedHat 7.2,
which I downloaded and burned the isos to CDs, on part of the remaining free
space (5 Gb for Linux and 2 Gb for Linus swap) and another operating system
on the remainder. When I installed RedHat 7.2 I entered text at the boot
prompt and went through the installation environment questions. I selected
custom install, fdisk and edit. This is where things because less clear. The
install process finished but when I rebooted the system came up with an
error - Win2000 kernel file corrupted. I have went through the install
process twice and both times ended up with the same error and I had to
reload. Currently the machine is configured as described in the first
sentence and does not have any othe!
