i have a wintel box and a 240 gb drive.
i just installed red hat linux 9 on the first 80 gb of the drive.

i want to use grub to install windows xp on the next 80 gb
of the drive.

can someone point me in the right direction? I've scanned
a couple of howtos on the web but the ones i've seen so far
seem specialized for different circumstances. i imagine
my circumstance is common but i haven't found the correct
howto yet.

i can re-install red hat linux 9 if necessary.

[one question is will i eventually have to re-install grub
after installing windows xp to fix the mbr on the disk?]

thanks...
