How do you reinstall Linux in a dual boot scenario?

[Dazed_75]

You guys keepo saying the same thing.  Yes, most/all distros will add
windows to the grub menu.  What not one of you has clearly stated is that
you are talking about a reinstall rather than an original install of linux
to dual boot with XP.  Since few, if any, of you are likely to have actually
have done this, I will create a dual booting machine and then reinstall the
linux to test that scenario sometime this week just to be sure
