Using druid isnt too hard...you might want to install windows first since
it will overwritwe the
Master Boot Record (MBR). create a  primary partionpartion under MS-DOS
using fdisk and enter the size you want for windows. Then ill assume you
boot from the Redhat-CD. Create a Linux  native partion using "ADD" from
disk druid. The mount point shall be "/" (wich means root). Size it and
leave space for your Swap partion.  Your swap partion shall be twice the
size of your amount of RAM(the number you see when your pc boots * 2) ex :
you have 16 M ram, your swap hall be 32 M. To create this partion, click on
"ADD" and size it and remember to select Linux Swap. thats it. then lthe
installation continues.........
