how can i Install WinXP over Linux While Retaining Linux

[kirn]

After Windows Installation, boot up from SuperGRUB CD again. Select 'Fix Linux Boot Loader' option. It will re-install Linux Boot Loader and setup dual boot again.

As I mentioned earlier, SuperGRUB CD will setup dual boot itself. You have to select 'Fix Linux Boot Loader' option only.

Solution(tested)
As devil casper explaines

burn super_grub_disk 0.9598 onto a cd,boot it
select windows boot loader,reboot
install xp
boot super_grub_disk 0.9598 again
select fix linux boot loader,and reboot

u get dual boot

Hi, kirn

Now you probably understand better why I said back in post #2 that it's generally easier to start fresh and install Windows first, unless you know what you are doing.

Hope it works out for you soon.
