| I installed Red Hat 9.0 on my computer and installation gone very well. After that, I have reinstalled my windows XP. Now I have a problem booting my Red Hat 9.0, because I do not have option to choose what operating system I want when I turn on computer. Instead of that, windows XP is booting by default. Where is my Red Hat?!? |

Your problem occurred because XP have rewritten master boot record on your hard drive (MBR). XP doesnt recognize Linux, and assumes that Linux partition is an unformatted portion of hard disk, so, XP not included option to boot Linux in master boot record. To solve this problem you have to from Linux boot partition copy first 512b. Command for that is fdisk t. Then copy it to C: and add to boot.ini file:
c:\NameOfFileMyLinux
After this reboot computer, and youll see that there are options for choosing OS.
