I am trying to setup my computer to dual boot Windows 2000 (W 2K) with Red
Hat Enterprise Workstation v3 (RHEW). I attempted to load RHEW on my SATA
hard drive but it didn't work because the hard drive controller card's
manufacture doesn't have a software driver for RHEW yet. I tried to use a
driver for a different version of Red Hat that they offered but it didn't
work either. 

I am now trying a different approach. I have installed a second, IDE hard
drive, that I am sure RHEW will recognize. I partitioned the new hard drive
per the instructions in the RHEW installation guide with Norton Partition
Magic. I have loaded RHEW on that second hard drive with Disk Druid and it
seemed to go well.  I then modified the boot.ini file with the line
"L:\Linux.bin="linux"".  "L:" is the primary partition on the new hard drive
that I chose as the boot partition for RHEW.  

I then rebooted the computer during which during which a screen offered me
the choice of booting W2K or Linux. I selected Linux and received the
following error message.

 

Windows 2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem.

 

Could not read from the selected boot disk.  Check boot path and disk
hardware.

 

Please check the Windows 2000 documentation about hardware and disk
configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional
information.

 

            I can't get into RHEW but W2K works well after a reboot and a
different selection at the OS option screen.

            What have I done wrong?  What other methods might work?

 

Thank in advance for your help!

Rod
