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.
