Hi Bill, I think you can do this. Set Linux as the default (using the default= setting in grub.conf), so you can always get to the grub configuration. I believe there has been a "--once" patch applied to some versions of grub - try googling for this. The "--once" option may allow you to boot into linux, instruct grub to reboot into XP, reboot, then know you can get back to linux again, as grub will revert to the default O/S. Alternatively, you could keep your /boot partition on a filesystem type that both Linux and XP can write to (like Fat32) and just modify the default value in the grub config from either O/S.
