How to dual boot XP/Mandrake?
I recently reinstalled windows on my computer splitting it into 2 partitions, shortly before installing mandriva/mandrake on the second half of the disk. Everything was going smoothly, but this is my first time installing linux, and something must have gone wrong. I think I must have forgotten to install grub or something, because there’s no option to boot into windows XP. This is my 3rd time reformatting, and my 5th time reinstalling, so please don’t ask me to start from scratch. =_=
This is the most frustrating thing in the world. Could someone please tell me how to install and set up grub/lilo?
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I’ve never used Linux (I know, I’m deprived). However, I did stumble across this article in apc magazine the other day:
"How to dual boot Windows XP and Linux (XP installed first) — the step-by-step guide with screenshots"
