dual boot help.

Im trying to dual boot windows xp and redhat linux 7.3 on the same hard drive (hdc) after i install both , linux will boot but for some reason windows xp doesnt show up in the dual boot screen. I guess this is b/c of the ntfs partiton? It has always worked before with mandrake and suse, but it wont with redhat. help..

actually it was in the setup. It will actually recognize NTFS without any problems, but for whatever strange reason, rh won't set lilo/grub to install an entry for NTFS (why i have NO idea!). next time you go through the install, when you come to the boot setup, make sure to give your NTFS partition a label (that will fix it, amazingly). but for now, what you'll need to do is manually add an entry for winXP. what bootloader are you using?
