Linux Dual Boot

:idea:

I installed WinXP first then I installed RED HAT 9 and logical partition exists. How come it will not dual boot. I can't choose the OS on the boot loader. It only shows XP. It is weird. However, my computer is connected to my DOMAIN active directory in the network, I wonder if that is the cause. I need you opinion.
