It's like that tutorial says. Forget about backing up grub.conf. This is nonsense. You want to make a backup before changing it, just in case, but not because of the XP installation. After the installation you have to reinstall grub with "grub-install" (from a live disk) and add the chainloader stuff to grub.conf. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/linux (if that is where you linux resides) grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/linux /dev/sda (if you want to install it to the partition use sda2 instead of sda, then the partition has to be active, so that you can boot from it) Instead of using grub-install you can backup the mbr before the installation and then restore it afterwards. You can easily get bad results from that if you mistype, though.
