Description of problem:
When installing RH9 on a dual-boot machine (PIII 1.2Ghz, 256Mb, 20Gb HD)
previously partitioned thusly:
/dev/hda1   10Gb   /dosc  -  Windows 2000/XP Pro partition (fat32)
/dev/hda2   8.5Gb  /      -  Linux partition (ext3)
/dev/hda3   530Mb  <swap> -  Linux swap partition

having fdisk partition types of:
hda1 - c
hda2 - 83
hda3 - 82

from prior installation of RH7.3 and using BootMagic to control OS boot options.
 When installing RH9, there was no option to run fdisk .. only automatically
partition and use Disk Druid.    I ran Disk Druid as I did not want to lose
information on the fat32 partition since its vital for work and to restore user
accounts in Linux.  After several days of trying to figure out what was wrong
and what was keeping BootMagic from properly booting into Windows (hda1), I
booted into RH9 from boot floppy and ran fdisk.  I noticed at this point that
the partition types had been changed to:

hda1 - 1c (hidden fat32)
hda2 - 93 (Amoeba)
hda3 - 82 (Linux Swap)

Only after changing the partition types for hda1 and hda2 back to original and
installing GRUB into the MBR was I able to restore the dual-boot nature of this
laptop.

I do not think its an outright problem with BootMagic sine bootmagic worked
beautifully with RH7.3.  Instead, I believe that there might have been a
partition information communication problem between BM and RH installer.  Adding
the option to use fdisk to manually partition the drives back into the installer
would be a good idea to this user.
