I know I can look this up, but I hope someone will remind me quickly
what to do.

I had a dual boot Windows 2000/Fedora Core 2 system, and I just did an
install of Windows XP Pro on the C: partition. In the process, my dual
booting setup was wiped out. I can boot Linux from a rescue CD. In the
old days I would just run lilo, but I've never actually had to restore
grub to the MBR. What is the quickest way to do it? Also, is there
anything to be specially careful about to avoid messing up booting for
Windows XP?
