I'm having trouble with dual-booting RH 9 & Microsoft XP Pro. I
installed RH with no problem, however, I can't get LILO or GIMP to act
as the boot menu. Also, after installing RH I can't boot windows due
to an error in finding windows/system32/hal.dll.

Computer Setup:

AMD Semperon 2800
512M RAM
130GB Seagate: HD1=empty(will be DOS)
HD2=XP Pro (extended)
HD5=XP Pro
HD3=/
HD4=/swap
3 1/4 Floppy: none (trying to get one)
nVidia 6200 (have drivers, will add later)

Thanks!

You mean LILO or GRUB. What errors do you get? Why are you using
RedHat 9 and not something more recent like FC4 or Debian Sarge? Or on
the other hand, why Windows XP and not W98 or NT 4?

I can't imagine why a Linux install would mess with files in
\windows\system. You may need to reinstall Windows.
