actually while installing RHEL4.0 on my SATA HD i chose to install grub on 1st sector of SATA but after trying to do so 10-15 times, it messed up my XP & stopped booting.
so i tried Supergrub CD, fixing mbr & all stuff i could to rescue my XP, but failed
later on one of my seniors told me that RHEL4.0 requires drivers to get instlld on SATA. which i couldnt get on google.
Now I re-installd XP
& also trying out Freespire LiveCD (its GUI is beautiful)
actually i want to know the procedure of editing that devil grub which ate up my XP.
have you tried the recovery console of a bootable install cd? and ran fixboot or fixmbr?.. that will surely erase your grub in mbr and will require you to install grub again.
