HELLO
I installed Red hat 7.3 a few times with both lilo and grub.  I installed to 
the MBR and was able to dual boot with no problems.  The set up offers you 
these options.  I can't remember what I did as it was a while ago.  But it is 
possible to dual boot without any probs.  I did prefer grub.  There is some 
good help on thew redhat site about how to configure grub to boot windows etc.
