Installing XP onto a FC1 box
 
I'm looking to install XP (I know, I know) onto my box, so I can play a few games. I currently run FC1, and I know that XP install will stomp all over my boot arrangements. How should I go about preventing or fixing this?

Cheers,
Dan

You can't prevent XP from overwriting the MBR but it is easy to repair.

Boot the 1st install CD to rescue mode.
Enter the following commands at the prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install

I do not run FC1 so I'm not aware of a menu to repair the boot loader.
