You don't have to reinstall RedHat, just get a recovery boot disk or ISO from somewhere like http://crashrecovery.org/ and boot it. Mount your redhat partition somewhere like /mnt and make sure any other mount points like /usr and /boot get mounted under /mnt/usr and /mnt/boot as well.
I don't know anything about grub, but if it was lilo you would just do:
chroot /mnt lilo
If you want to read the man for Grub to see how to install it into the MBR, just do:
chroot /mnt man grub
Then:
chroot /mnt <grub command>

Stefan,
If you followed the recommended, "Create a boot disk" during the Red Hat install. Then, simply boot off of that disk. While I have never had to reinstall GRUB into the MBR of a hard drive, I am certain that you can find that out by typing 'man grub' at the command line, after getting the system back up and running. (However, I believe you will need to edit grub to then see you Windows XP installation.)
If you didn't follow the "Create a boot disk" recommendation, it is my opinion that you will need to fully reinstall the Red Hat OS. (At this time, I know of no other way to recover the Red Hat install after overwriting the MBR with any version of Windows.)
