I'm running a dual boot as you describe.  Here's what I did:
Install Win2K first.  During Win2K install I partitioned my drive to use 50%
of the available space as a FAT32 partition.

When that was finished, I installed RH 7.1.  I chose to manually partition
the drive, creating a swap partition, and the remaining free space as root
(/).  I also created a mount point for my FAT32 partition as /windows.

After the RH install, I have the ability to dual boot either OS.  While
working in Linux, I can work with files on my FAT32 drive.  The partition
(/windows) shows up as just another folder in the file manager utilities.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Dual boot between Win2k and Linux 7.1


Hello-

I am trying to create a dual boot machine. I have a 20 gig drive that is
permanent, and two removable 10 gig drives for Win2k and Linux. I loaded the
OS's and everything looked good. I do have the problem of interoperability
between the OS's and the 20 gig drive. Can someone recommend what I should
do to share that 20 gig between both, or maybe just some type of partition?
Right now, I can only see 7.36 gig of that 20 gig and the format is
unrecognizable because of the Linux formatting.

Thanks in advance!


K
