Tutorial instal Linux on Window
  This is the first tutorial that I write ok, so if is confusing
Just sent me and email and I by glad to help you out ok.

Ok let's begin, by the and of this tutorial you will be able
To install Linux on a Windows computer, and have Linux
And Windows on the same computer and select which one
You want to run by using the booting tool.

The first thing you need to know is, (is your computer
Is compatible with Linux?) Because this tutorial is based on
Red hat Linux distribution you have to go www.redhat.com
And check it out. But in these days Linux is compatible pretty
Much with everything, except Win modems and drives are fixing
That problem so.

Now that you know that your computer is compatible,
We are ready to go. First you need to know the size of
Your hard drive (go to my computer and select Local disk C:
In most computers is C: , And see the capacity and you will see
Something like 40.5GB.
What we need to do next is to think how many gigabytes
You want to use for Linux , and how many to lave free for Windows .

Now you need to defragment your hard disk. You can use the disk
Defragment , which is typically available from (windows start menu >
Accessories >System tools >Disk defragment ) but this can by different depending on windows version. I know you are asking your self, why do this? Well let me give you a little explanation why. Defragmenting your hard Drive, Is moving all the data and removing the empty spaces .think like this, Is like you have a box whit ants, and the ants are all over the place. Because the ants are all over the place is using more space right. But if you take all the ants and put them all, in just one corner is more space ok. That's what defragmenting your hard drive is like.

Now here is the good part, you will need to use a partition splitter.
This means you are about to dived the hard disk in two parts, one
For Windows and the other one for Linux of curse. You will need to
Create a boot disk. To create a boot disk (go to my computer>control panel>add and remove programs>start up disk tap) and that's it. By now I assume you have already the Red Hat cd's on your hands.Because FIPS.exe comes with the Red Hat cds , we are going to use FIPS.exe to dived are hard disk.
(FIPS.exe, RESTORRB.exe, ERRORS.txt are on the cd1) .
