RE: Dual Boot

I'm using GNU Parted and a HOWTO I found at RedHat that says that if I
make the windows boot disk a grub option and tell it the correct
partition, it will install only on my FAT32 partition which I made using
parted and fdisk.  I just need to know how to setup GRUB to do that.
Have I cleared that up?  (I don't want to reinstall linux.)
