Well... I had windows xp on my computer, then I installed RedHat 8 and I had the option to choose with which operating system I wanted to start my computer.

Now I delete windows xp and installed again because it was been crappy and stupid, but now my computer starts only with XP without giving me the option to choose RedHat.

You have to know that RedHat is still in my computer, I just nedd to access it again.

How do I do that?

Are you sure that XP didn't overwrite your Linux partition?

XP pretty much overwrote the MBR (boot partition) so that killed off whatever (LILO or GRUB) bootloader was in place.

You need to sure you boot disk that I'm sure you made when you installed linux :)

Once that's done you need to reinstall your boot loader. If it was lilo then just a "lilo -v" whould do the trick...
