Default RHLinux and Windows XP dual boot HowTo get back Windows boot?

Hi,

Can someone point me to the dual boot configuration of Linux and
Windows. By error I overwrite the DOS Boot sector with Linux. Now I
can boot RH fine but if I select 'DOS' for Widnows, I get a unable to
load NTLDR.

Appreciate any help.

Sam

Caveat: I am not running Windows XP.

General procedure, some details may differ on your setup. Boot the XP
setup CD, enter the rescue console. At the C: prompt, enter this command:

c:\> fixboot

Reboot and see if your dual boot configuation is fixed.
