    I don't think windows will boot from a slave drive. The order you should
    install windows on your primary drive then install RH. The reason that you
    should install RH second is that windows will overwrite any OS boot loader
    in the MBR. It has no respect. I don't see how you could have installed
    windows on a slave drive unless you made it master installed and then made
    it a slave drive. Anyhow that ain't going to work.
