try the following first
boot into Linux using the CD (Dunno how this is done in Redhat, I presume its
similar to SuSE "Boot Installed system" in YAST)
If all you did was reinstall Windows and there were NO other changes, the
just run (as root) :-
/sbin/lilo
This will output your boot options - should say something like
root@gagarin:/home/willie > /sbin/lilo
Added linux *
Added linux_2.4
Added suse <----Redhat wont have this
Added windows
Added memtest86 <----- probly wont have this either
This will rewrite the the MBR and you should be back where you were.
Let us know how you get on
