When you installed RH, did you have it install a boot loader? If so, did you install it to the master boot record? In anycase, once you've booted into linux, edit the /etc/grub.conf file and make sure that any other OS you have (like Windows XP etc) is listed there. Then (assuming you have a normal IDE disk setup) type as root at a shell prompt: /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda Then reboot and you should have a boot loader that will let you choose between windows and linux and you won't need to use the boot disk.
