So, then take your Xp cd, boot it and (i just think you have ~100GB hd)delete all the partitions. then make a 20GB partition for xp, format it with ntfs and go on installing. after installing it, open computer administration (search it - i'm german and don't know it were to find it in an eng xp) Then open disk managment and you should see your hd. there should be a 20gb ntfs partitions and 80gb free. if you want, make some extra partitions, just leave ~10-20gb for rhl. reboot your pc and install rhl. it schould automatically detect win and after it is installed you should be able to boot both rhl and xp.
