Boot on the redhat disk 1, type 'linux rescue.' When the installer asks you if you want to mount your hard drive install, select "yes." At the bash prompt, type 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'. Make sure /etc/grub.conf is still set right to boot windows. Then run grub-install /dev/hda. If that succeeds, exit, exit, and reboot.
