Could Not locate Bootsect.lnx

[Richard, John]

You need to make bootsect.lnx with the dd command:
 
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/boot/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
 
where /dev/hda1 is your /boot partition. You can use the mount command
to find out what is mounted where. If you only have a / patrition, use
that. I will assume you are dual booting  win2k or winNT, and it is on
the c: drive. If your  M$ Winblows partition is mounted as /mnt/c you
could use /mnt/c/bootsect.lnx as the out file so you will not have to
move it later. If you do not have your c: partition mounted, copy the
bootsect.lnx file to a floppy, boot winblows and copy the file to c:\. 
 
Once you have bootsect.lnx on the windows c: partition, you add a entry
to c:\boot.ini in the [operating systems] section:
 
c:\bootsect.lnx="RedHat Linux 7.1 is the best choice here"
