[vox-tech] Install windows in linux Red Hat Enterprise

I'm sorry you didn't get everything solved at the Installfest.  If you 
must use Peachtree, it does look you will need to run Windows.

While the other two responses are correct and helpful, for beginner 
users of Linux I am going to recommend a brute force method:

1) back up your data
2) boot the windows install CD
3) delete all partitions on your hard drive
4) make a single partition for windows (~10GB)
5) install windows on that partition
6) install linux on another 10GB, leaving some unpartitioned space if 
possible
7) make another partition that is formated fat32; this can be used by 
both windows and linux

It is a shame you have to delete your existing linux with this method. 
However, trying to work around it while installing windows could lead to 
all sorts of trouble that could take a long time to resolve.
