[newbies] Windows Xp and Redhat 8.0 from GRUB

[michael lewis]

Hello out there!!

I just recently bought a computer that has Windows XP on its 60 G. HD. I wanted to install RedHat 8.0 as well so I took the 15 G. HD out of my old machine and made it the slave HD in my new computer leaving the Windows XP HD as the master. When I was going through the installation for RedHat, and when I got to the part about the boot loader I chose GRUB. From there it asked me which operating system I wanted to be the default. The only other option that it gave me was DOS on hda(master HD with XP). I chose this because it didnt offer anything else like XP. So then I went through the rest of the installation and restarted the computer. When I chose to go to DOS I was praying that it would think to go to Windows XP. Instead, my computer went to the revovery for XP and wanted me to enter my recovery disk.

Now, I dont think that my data is lost on my XP HD but my computer just doenst know how to find it now. How can I let GRUB to recognize XP? ANy other things I need to worry about?
