Hello,
Under Win NT4.0, we partitioned our 1Gb hard disk into 3
partitions: one for NT4.0(about 400Mb), one for data(50Mb)
and the last is left empty(500Mb) to be used for redhat6.0.

We intended to install Redhat6.0 onto the empty partition;
during the installation process, however, the installation
procedure didn't ask us any question regarding to which
partition to install Redhat6.0., but lead us directly to
the end of the installation process; it seemed "successful"!?

When we restarted the machine, we found the machine went into
Redhat directly, without asking us whether to boot into NT;
moreover, after logging in as "root", we found there's nothing
there, no files/dirs, etc; on the other hand, the other 2
partitions for NT4.0 and data are missing - we simply couldn't
see them!

Advice us please on how to install Redhat6.0 onto our PC, so that
we will be asked to make a selection on work under NT4.0, or
Redhat6.0 during booting time.

Shicheng
