Answer 1

your question unclear...if you want to make your computer dual boot.than install vista first than Linux.

it will be difficult if you want to install linux first than vista.so please install vista first.its not a problem...just go ahead

Answer 2

I'm not certain I understand you. If you mean that your current situation is that you have Vista installed, set aside a partition for RHEL, but now want to install RHEL elsewhere, as long as the partition already exists it shouldn't be a problem.



If you mean you have a second hard drive you want to install RHEL to, go right ahead. You should read the GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader- Linux uses great names for things, doesn't it?) documentation if you're going to be booting off of multiple drives, it will probably save you a headache or two.



In general, when dual-booting Windows and Linux, you want to install Windows first so when you install Linux, you'll get the more flexible GRUB bootloader.
