I don't know what you are doing. Follow steps 1 & 2 below. You must have winxp on the c: drive and not the d: drive. It is possible to get it going from d: but you have to go thru alot of things cause some parts mustalways be loaded on the primary drive (c:). So Install winxp and boot and make sure it will boot stand alone. Once you do that then install RH and install Grub or lilo and it will dual boot. Winxp is fickle and doesn't like to co-exist with other OS's so good luck. > I install GRUB and load XP. > But it is not stable. > My XP often crush with GRUB ( so i have to reinstall XP OS often.
