[plug] Dual Boot Linux with XP (NTFS)

[bpalmer at orbeng.com]

Hi There, 

This is my first post, but I have been subscribed for a while now. Good list
and a good source of information.  Thanks ;-)

I'm a bit of a newbie, but learning everyday.

Running an Athlon 1100 on a A7V, the two std ide channels have been disabled
and everything runs on ATA100 on a 30gig drv.
XP was put onto the primary partition, then Linux on the second.  
Used Grub, and on the first reboot XP was not available, but during the
install it had XP as an option but Linux set as default.

I have spent a day or so now searching the www for a few clues, and have
looked at the grub.conf file. 

Most of the info I have obtained tells me to mod this file which I have
tried, but so far no luck.

Also it seems quite a few people revert to fat32 out of frustration when
trying to get ntfs support in RH7.1 & 7.2.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Regards, 
Brad
