RE: Linux booting problem

IT just sounds like you need to go into BIOS and select HDD 1 to be your
boot device and not HDD 0. This will then boot from your slave HDD and boot
Linux. 

Hopefully you wont feel the need to change your BIOS back to HDD 0 (and
hence Windows).

Thanks to all who responded to my earlier mail.

Yes, I installed Linux RedHat 7.0 (CD) on the second
(slave) disk and created a boot disk (floppy). Then I tried to reboot the
system, thinking that I get an option to choose Window/Linux, unfortunately
it goes directly to Windows booting. How do I choose Linux booting?  Any
tips on solving this issue?

sincerely,
John
