I tried the BOOTPART, it couldn't work. I use WinXP and Redhat Linux 7.3. Any of you can tell me what's wrong?

you must run bootpart as root

What's wrong with grub?

[skloo77]

Grub is the bootloader and must run the bootpart as root in order to enjoy the administrative rights??

I meant why not use solely grub? IMO it is easy to use and quick to configure.

I've am trying installs of a number off Linux editions and GRUB is great. I put Caldera, Mandrake, RedHat on successively and GRUB worked great on them all. My WinXp boot continues to work fine. I have an 80GB drive and the Linux ext2 partition starts after the 10GB Windows partition.
