directly booting to windows XP. what should i do to

When the Linux installer program ask you to make a boot diskette this is the kind of situation you are supposed to use it for. If you didn't make a boot diskette you can use a LiveCD such as Mepis or Knoppix to access the Linux partition on your hard drive.

You might first want to check if your RH install disk doesn't already come with a boot option that covers this fairly typical occurance
