You will need to install Windows NT first, as the active boot partition will have to be either FAT 16 or NTFS to support NT. &nbsp;But, when partitioning for NT, leave enough space unpartitioned for Linux to take later. &nbsp;Then, after installing NT, run the Linux install. &nbsp;It should see the free space (depending on the size of the drive) and let you complete the partitioning scheme from there.

if you do it the other way, you could run into some problems with NT and you will have to re-install lilo. Make sure you have a linux boot disk before you do anything like that.

Thanks for ur suggestion. I carry out &nbsp;a image restore for Win NT and then install LINUX. It turns out to be working fine. Thanks a lot.

If I wish to partition my LINUX machine to accomodate both LINUX and WINNT 4.0,<br />
is is possible? If yes, pls advise on how to carry out the partitioning as I 've never done that before. Cuurently, my PC is only installed with LINUX Red Hat 6.0.

Partitioning in  LINUX?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
