Thanks for the feedback, and I have RH versions 7.0 through 9.0 but they are on separate machines. On the test machine I used,http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-diskpartauto.html. Depending on how much data that you have on your XP partition, I would recommend backing it up, wiping the disk and starting from scratch, installing XP first and then Linux. I would also recommend that you download the ISO's for 9.0 (if this is reasonable) and install 9.0 vice 7.1 since there have been changes in the newer kernel and support for NTFS partitions is better.
