Possibly!  If the cd doesn't chroot you straight into your redhat
environment, I think (from memory) it mounts the system under
/mnt/sysimage, so you can chroot to there.

Once you've chrooted, just run grub-install.  You already have windows
XP options in /boot/grub/grub.conf I assume, so they should work for
windows 2000 with minimal/no fuss.

You may not even need to chroot if grub is on the restore cd - I can't
remember its been so long since I used it.
