Go to groups.google.com advanced search and lookup my post:

Dual booting XP, Linux with Grub, on Dell

This might help.

Also, I always have two hard drives in my machines. The Windows
stays where it was. Linux goes onto the second hard drive.

Was Windows the initial installation? And you want to get back
to windows? If so, you can, with your install CD, or emergency floppy,

fdisk /mbr

This will overwrite the master boot record. You will be able to get
back to Windows, but will have no more Linux.

Good luck. Please let us know your solution.
