[rhn-users] Installing RHEL AS on slave Hard Disk

[Philip Juels]

I haven't dual-booted a system for some years, but...

I used to run into similar problems.  Since I was installing linux onto 
a separate and distinct harddrive, I temporarily disconnected the 
Windows drive.  With the linux drive set as primary master, I installed 
linux normally.  Once installed, I kept the linux harddrive as the 
primary master and re-attached the Windows drive as the primary slave, 
using the BIOS to select the boot drive.

As for your video card and monitor problem, I can only guess, but you 
can still install X from a text-based install process.

Hope that helps,

PJ
