okay I now have Redhat 6.2 installed on my AMD K6/333. with 96Megs of Ram. RH is installed on my slaved Hard drive and other than the fact that it can't seem to find my nic card (I'll be installing a Linksys version 4.0 today). everything is great. The problem is this is a dual boot machine. And now whenever I boot back into Windows (I have to until I have network access to RH) it can no longer see my CD-ROM. I didn't have any problems here before I installed RH. Does anyone have any idea what happened here? Or more important how I can get Window to see my CD-Rom again. (yes I have already tried Windoze's Add new Hardware thing. it doesn't seem to see it). Thanks for any help u can give. Carl Parrish webmaster www.carlparrish.com
