<P><FONT SIZE=2>You need to make bootsect.lnx with the dd command: </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/boot/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>where /dev/hda1 is your /boot partition. You can use the mount command </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to find out what is mounted where. If you only have a / patrition, use </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that. I will assume you are dual booting win2k or winNT, and it is on </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the c: drive. If your M$ Winblows partition is mounted as /mnt/c you </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>could use /mnt/c/bootsect.lnx as the out file so you will not have to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>move it later. If you do not have your c: partition mounted, copy the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>bootsect.lnx file to a floppy, boot winblows and copy the file to c:\. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Once you have bootsect.lnx on the windows c: partition, you add a entry </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to c:\boot.ini in the [operating systems] section: </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>c:\bootsect.lnx="RedHat Linux 7.1 is the best choice here" </FONT>
