System commader V7.05 with Windows XP Home & RH Linux ver 9
I have a 30 Gb hard disk, with 8Gb NTFS Primary parbreastion with Windows XP and rest of the Gb Unallocated. Then installed System Commander. When re-booted System Commander recognises XP already installed & when I boot, I get into XP using System Commander OS selection menu.
Problem starts now. Installing RedHat Linux ver 9.0
Using OS wizard, tried adding Linux OS. Used all default settings 3 Gb space and 128 Mb swap. At the end of it, SC asked to put in Linux diskettes. RH-Ver 9.0 doesn't come in diskettes.
I quit. Re-boot with RH Liniux ver 9.0 cd in CD-ROM drive. RH Linux ver 9.0 boots. Once I get to the disk parbreastioning using Druid, I see 128 Mb of swap space & 3 GB of Linux parbreastion.
I mount the Linux paritioned space as "-". Then I install RH Linux 9. I tried using GRUB as boot loader. It didn't ask me where it needs to be installed (MBR or in root parbreastion). I also tried selecting "No Boot Manager" too, thinking that System Commander would take over. Still I can't boot Linux, selecting the Linux option in Boot selection window.
I have not created "-boot" parbreastion. Is it the problem. I have just "swap" & "-" in my system.

Once re-booted, I go to System Commander window. There I see Linux-Windows XP-Boot from A: options. When I select Linux, it says Linux parbreastion is not bootable.
Restarted the system, saw the Linux Pingeon in the OS lists. Put the RH-Linux version 9.0 CD-1 in the CD-ROM drive. Nothing happens.
What's the best way to go about, to make Linux installation recognisable to System Commader.
