Sorry for the lack of info...

Running RH 7.2  / 2.4.12 is the kernel i want to add... boot partition is 
sda1 data is sda5...

from what I am also reading you can add a windows install after you alread 
have linux up and running...  (old hard drive pulled from machine with 
windows.. left out during linux install...  put back in as hdb/sdb after 
linux install...  boom grub sees both? )
