we can read if the fonts are small too, yeah I know, we have eyes of an eagle.

what do you mean by your question? you say winxp is drop and cannot find linux.
anyhow, you probably meant to say that you cant boot either in winxp or linux. you could try reinstalling the grub. use your linux boot cd and go into rescue mode and use the command grub-install /dev/hdx where hdx is your hdd.

Please consider getting a newer distro than Red Hat 9, as that's very old and unsupported now.
