you just have to rerun grub setup.

Hello,
Usually when installing a portable, I leeave the windows and resize the disk
space to set up gentoo as the second OS with grub......
On one portable, The windows XP was a pain so I nuked it and got gentoo
working first. Now I need to install XP on the portable, but do not
wish XP to rewrite he MBR or any other such nefarious acts against the
gentoo partitions.
Any suggestions as to best methods are most appreciated. Heres the part info:
/dev/hda2 /boot reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/hda7 /usr/local reiserfs defaults 0 1
hda1 is reserved for XP
Here's the portion of grub.conf already set up for gentoo & XP:
title= Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8
root(hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda6
title=Possible Windows P1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
So I thinking after installing XP in the first partition,
all I have to do is execute/copy something to set up
the MBR so it sees grub.conf again, whilst XP is booted
up?
suggestions?
