No need to reinstall. Boot to Linux, setup your grub.conf file
(/etc/grub.conf) and run "grub-install /dev/hda"
your grub.conf should look something like this
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux (2.6.0-test11)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-test11 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.0-test11.img
title WinXP for AMD64
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Where (hd0,0) would correspond to the XP boot partition on hda.
And (hd1,0) would refer to your Linux boot partition on hdb.
