Rajesh, I have put several dual boot machines together without
encountering your problem.  Here is my grub.conf file from a standard
box (Athlon 2800 i think) with Winwoes XP first on the hard drive with
RH9 on the same hard drive behind it.  
The DOS partition (so labeled below) below is actuallly the XP  startup
choice.
Good luck.
