HI
Login as root
fire up gedit:


open /boot/grub/grub.conf

You'll see something like this:


*******************************************************************************
[root at bear bob]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# 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 (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.741_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.737_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.img

Look for title Other


and change it to WinXP
under it you should have also
root
no verify    ( which is some windoze thing )

You can change the time to wait in:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5

Change timeout to more if need be.


When you get bored with XP you can bin it!


Cheers
Bob
