May I suggest that you add a section that expands upon the above quote.
I encountered problems in the past 24 hours with having a dual boot
laptop. I ended up reinstalling XP because GRUB very happily fixed the
MBR to point only at Linux and didn't pickup XP. However, that is not
the immediate problem. What is the problem is determining whether or not
I can use the above command set to re-write the MBR so that it uses my
new grub.conf with the NT/Windoze incantation or must I re-install
Linux?

Thanks,
ger
