Does anyone know if there is a problem dual booting windows me,  I can use
fdisk to re-size my partitions they save and can then be formatted, i then
install windows me, then restart my computer, windows runs fine, the probelm
starts hen i try to install linux on the other partition, i fource boot from
the linux cd gointo the setup programme, finally when i go to install it it
says there is notenough room and prompts me to use fdisk or disk druid to
re-size again,, when  i look at disk druids screen in says that windows me
is using the entire hrd drive. after i had already partitioned it. after
this i cannot re-size without deleting windows back off the system i if
anyone could help with this problem it would be great

Is diskdruid seeing your fdisk created partition at all? How much room
have you allowed for redhat's installation? Have you created a swap
partition? Have you even told diskdruid which partitions you wish to
format as ext2fs and use for your linux installation?

try tagging the linux prtition as bootable.  don't forget to let Lilo(linux
loader) take over the MBR(master boot record)  also do make sure that you do
have enough space in the designated spot(liux partitions)
