Win 2000 & redhat (9)

This certainly is a FAQ, but I was not able to find the answer:
I want to install Win2000 and linux for dual boot, on a new computer.
For practice, I both installed Win2000 and RedHat separatly -- everything
ok.
Then I installed Win2000 and afterwards Linux, choosing Grub
(and the defaults).
But then Win would no longer boot.
I repeated the process several times, trying several choices with the
boot loader -- no success.
(Choosing the first sector of the boot partition for the boot loader
also damaged Win booting ...)
There should be some documentation on this -- but where?
P.S. Reinstalling Win2000 _after_ RedHat also was a problem,
win didn't like the partitions at all :-)
Only deleting all partitions really worked.

Thanks, this should help (I hope)

This, however, is about the same as in the handbook, and did not help
-- as it seems, it does not mention and explain the crucial things :-(
I wonder, why neither the handbook nor the help of the installation
program mention the Win2000 boot loader, and what to do with it ...
Thanks,

I've done this at least five times on five different machines
with no problems. w2k, then linux with grub.
1st install w2k and left plenty of room of free, unformated
disk space for linux, then
for the linux install made sure it went on the un-formated space.

Do you imply that I may install grub in the MBA and avoid the
procedure suggested by others (using w2k bootloader)?

I _may_ have discovered the source of the problems
(see other posting "fdisk"
