Hi, I am trying to install Linux and Windows XP together.
My PC already had Windows installed. I partitioned the disk and installed RH 7.2.
However since I installed Linux, I can't get back to Windows. GRUB does not allow me.

Any ideas on what I can do to make both available?

thanks in advance

I assume that you left the Windows boot loader in
position i.e. did not install GRUB in the MBR.

If this is the case, you need to edit /etc/grub.conf
(while in RedHat) and add something like the
following:

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Use "man grub' or 'info grub' to learn more about
configuring GRUB.
