RE: install help for dual boot w/ xp

You can't use diskdruid to repartition doing the installation.  7.1 is
so long ago I don't remember the details.  I thought it had automatic
partitioning and if not it certainly had manual partitioning and in
either case that is better than partition magic.  Also be sure you
install XP first.

For what ever reason I am unable to have Linux do the partitioning again

this is Redhat 7.1 does this matter.
