Hi

I have two hhd's and have xp in one and the other has a 5gb partition for red hat and the rest is for windows to keep data and has no os installed.

The reason i had to install red hat in other hdd is because the installer of red had activates the partition of red hat and deactivates the other partition.
When i installed the win and redhat on same hdd the win never booted. On installing it on second hdd the rest of the area was unrecognised by win and i had to activate the partition using partition magic 8 after which the area was accesible by windows.

Is there a way except the bootable floppy or cd for linux to install both win and red hat on same hdd? Does this situation arise for the other linuxes too like suse or ubuntu?

Secondly how can i multiboot linuxes. I wish to install suse soon and want to keep redhat as well. Without conflicting the bootloader originally grub for redhat how can i multiboot win, redhat and suse? Does the /boot partition needs to be made again for suse ? Is it possible to keep the three os's on the same hdd and not to split installations on different hdd's.
