... nothing that hasn't happened before

1. figure out which bootloader you are using:

#grubby --bootloader-probe

it should say either grub or lilo

2a. if you have xwindows working you can use a graphical editor such a gedit or kedit (for all the linux weenies: pico and nano work, as does vi, but I'm keeping this simple) to edit grub.conf. Usually its in /boot/grub

You can add something like this, but you will need to modify the hdx parameter for your machine

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

2b if you have lilo (unlikely with RH9) add this to lilo.conf, then run lilo

other = /dev/hda1 # The windows partition
label = windowsXP
table = /dev/hda #edit appropriately

3. stop and restart you machine

have fun!
