Install red hat enterprise linux 5 on a hard drive in win7

I searched for a lot of information on the Internet, saying that it is relatively simple to install red hat enterprise linux 5 on a CD-Rom under win7, but it is inconvenient to install the CD-Rom, I have learned from several new versions that I used to install linux, summed up some experience, and successfully installed red hat enterprise linux 5 on the hard drive of win7 using the powerful easybcd. Easybcd is a very powerful software. It can be used not only as a boot repair guide, but also as a virtual machine to install linux on a hard disk in a windows system.
The process is actually similar to installing a new version of linux. Download the downloaded red hat enterprise linux 5 file for the rhel-5.1-server-i386-dvd.iso below to talk about your own installation steps.

1. download the latest version EasyBCD2.0Beta. 2. Choose Computer Management> storage> disk management in win7 to separate a part of free space. Note: Make sure to free up a FAT32 format disk for the installation of the image rhel-5.1-server-i386-dvd.iso, because red hat enterprise linux installation process can only identify the FAR32 format of the disk, not recognized NTFS disk. Then, free up a system installation partition. After the red hat system is installed, it will probably not occupy 3G space. You have to determine the partition size.
3. Place the downloaded rhel-5.1-server-i386-dvd.iso under the created FAT32 format disk root directory 4. Open the rhel-5.1-server-i386-dvd.iso with winrar. Put the initrd. img and vmlinuz files under the isolinux folder in the root directory of drive C.
6. Open EasyBCD and click Add/remove a Entry ---> NeoGRUB ---> Install NeoGRUB7. restart the computer. The neoGRUB option is displayed. Click to enter. After grub appears, enter root (Press ENTER) kernel/vmlinuz iso-scan filename =/rhel-5.1-server-i386-dvd.iso boot = isolinux (Press ENTER) initrd/initrd. img (Press ENTER) boot (Press ENTER) (Note: if an error occurs during the above process... The text indicates that you have entered a problem and you need to re-enter it.) Next, the installation will start ....... Select the installation language .... In simplified Chinese, you can select the keyboard installation mode in simplified Chinese only after the installation is prompted in English... In the US-style mode, selecting the Image Location hard disk installation is naturally the second option to select the image's partition. If you do not know which one is, try it one by one. Select a partition and press the Tab key, enter "/" in the blue bar below, which is very important. Otherwise, you won't be able to install and guess which disk your image is on. The installation page is displayed. Click Next. If you want to install these two services, select, click Next

If you want to set partitions, You can manually set partitions by yourself. However, whether you are a master or not, we recommend that you manually set partitions as a base to select the partitions of the installed system. Click the above edit button, click "/" and select the disk format "ext3 format" to install grub. The key is that grub is installed in win7 and requires multi-system boot. Therefore, pay attention to this issue, the above grub installation must be selected. The following Configuration Guide item can be left blank if it is installed on the C drive, if it is installed on grub of the previously installed linux system, you can choose to install it, and then in the following two options, select the next step to set the time zone for the pilot item to be installed on the first sector... Set the logon password .... It will soon go to the automatic installation .... Automatic Installation starts .... Continue ..... Installation may not take a long time to complete ...... Restart ..... Some system configurations have just been installed .... Last restart ....... Enter the boot password ..... Do not enter the one you set .. Finally, go to the red hat enterprise linux 5 desktop ....... Success ....... ^_^ Note: grub is installed on mbr during installation. After installation, the red hat grub boot should be started first, click or select to enter the win7 system. Of course, many people prefer to use the win7 system, so they want to write win7 into mbr, but if this is not the case, the red hat startup will not be completed first .... If you have installed Windows 7 and red hat systems, you can set the other boot item as the default boot item when installing grub, if you have installed linux systems in addition to win7 and red hat and grub, you can choose to write red hat boot items into the boot items of other linux systems, the method is as follows:
1. Go to the red hat system, open the file system, find the/boot/grub. conf file, and remember the title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1
Root (hd0, 6)
Kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5xen ro root = LABEL =/rhgb quiet
Initrd/boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5xen.img
2. restart your computer and go to another linux System With grub installed. Open/etc/grub under the file system. d/40_ OS customer file: add the copied content to the file. Note that you must have the administrator ID to modify it. run the terminal, enter sudo update-grub in it, and then enter the password (not displayed). Restart red hat and add the boot item to grub in another linux system.
4. run the command prompt and enter bootrec/fixmbr. The red hat boot items that appeared before the win7 boot items will disappear, you can start red hat in another linux grub and refer to this article http://www.bkjia.com/ OS /201210/159158.html.
