dual booting XP & Fedora 13 (SOLVED-thank you)

Could I have some help please on how I should edit the boot loader so that both WinXP & Fedora are bootable selection options on the boot splash screen. My apologies if this has been asked before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

My present grub.cof reads as follows but does not provide me with an XP boot option.

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file



[dalpets@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost dalpets]# gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
