Angry dual-booting xp and rh 7.3


100 gig HD. one 90 gig ntfs pasrtition for xp pro. one 10 gig for redhat 7.3. i have re-installing both over and over choosing either grub or lilo as boot loader and both times only get prompted to boot into linux. tried re-installing both again, choosing no boot-loader and now get taken directly into windows. i know this is do-able, but its just not happening. any ideas. maybe this is a factor, i was running win2 k but installed xp due to the two trojans i had. and now i am in this situation. any ideas, thoughts? thanks in advance.

Edit the file /boot/grub/grub.conf to include something similar to what I have for title Windows NTFS. The (hd0,0) means hda, first partition.
I recommend using grub.


title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-24.8.0)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-24.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-24.8.0.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img
title Windows NTFS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Gentoo-1.4
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/gentoo-1.4 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi
