Hey.. Have you tried to choose (by pressing F8 on your keyboard) boot OS? then you can log to your winXP2. Then if it works, try to load your red hat installer and just choose the option 'fix'(something like that) just to reload the corrupted files.It will just replace the system files and will not erase those saved files of your own.
