How to install XP on my RHEL machine?

[kangkan]

Hi All,

I am running RHEL4 on a machine onto which I wish to add a new physical hard disk and install win XP on the new disk.

Please guide me how to do the same.

Regards,

Its really easy. Disable Linux disk in BIOS, plug-in new disk and install Windows OS. Enable Linux disk after successful installation of Windows OS.

Linux will boot up by default. Add this code in /boot/grub/grub.conf file to add an entry of Windows OS in GRUB.

title Windows OS
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

In this method, both OSes will be independent of each other and you are not editing any file of Windows OS. Linux Boot Loader ( GRUB ) will chainload Windows Boot Loader and boot up Windows OS.

I shall revert once I do the same.
