As there is no need to recreate the wheel, I will post links as I find them to assist you in your Redhat 6.2 dual boot with XP, rather than attempt to say what these documents already explain better. Naturally, I recommend grub to dual boot all of your systems, since it is very easily configured and compatible with many OS platforms. Enjoy!


Using Lilo and/or Grub instead of the XP/2k bootloader:

http://classes.csumb.edu/CST/CST434-01/world/DualBoot.html <-- this one is for 2k, but there are many reports that it is the exact same process and success with XP.
