Replacing Windows XP bootloader with GRUB bootloader

Linux

I have had to reinstall Windows XP. This however caused the GRUB bootloader in the MBR to be overwritten. Now I just get the normal Windows XP boot instead of GRUB which allowed me to load Linux or Windows. I have the Fedora 8 DVD but when I try and do the grub install it comes up with error messages and I can't seem to place GRUB on the MBR. I have followed the instructions in the GRUB manual but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?
