Booting problems


I have Red Hat 9 and Win XP both installed, but it is going straight to the XP. It is not bringing me to the boot option. How do I go about making it so I can choose which OS to load up? Thanks

It said that the grub boot loader was installed when I installed Red Hat. I reinstalled windows after I installed Red Hat and now it just loads up to XP.

Problem: Cannot Boot to Red Hat
Solution: Reinstall GRUB/Lilo, or Reinstall Red hat
Reason: Reinstalling windows overwrites the MBR where GRUB/Lilo is stored.

I reinstalled Red Hat after I installed XP, but it still just loads up XP. How do I reinstall GRUB? Thanks
