moving boot loader


I was wondering if there was a way to move a grub boot loader once it is installed. I messed up on my reinstall of redhat and put the loader on my main Windows XP partition instead of my linux partition. I did have the Windows boot loader come up first and then the linux loader and would like to go back to that. If anyone on has any answers I could really use them.
Thanks

It should be a simple matter of installing it. If you have the config file that works right you would install it where you want it like this


grub-install /dev/????

the device being where it is to be installed
