Good old XP

???
Just install XP and let it destroy (part of) grub
Then boot the live CD and follow the advice here

I've done this from the live cd more than once

Awesome! Thanks guys!!

I used the super grub cd and it took 6 clicks and 30 seconds to restore grub. Quick and easy, It works well. It is only a 3 meg download.
I'm sure the CLI method with the Mint cd would have worked too.
Thanks again Guys!!

Gues what guys I did the similar thing without Super Grub
I can now boot XP,Vista,Mint and SuSe all
OSL2000 simplifies everything

I can now select the boot disk for Linux and then go to GRUb of Mint from ther I can select Mint/SuSe or go to Windows OS selection menu.

I just booted from live CD of Mint once and did some "SUDO GRUB"
Then ran setup(hd0) and it was done.GRUB installed on MINT partition.

If you boot suse and then do "SUDO GRUB" and setup(hd0), it installed GRUB on SUSE partition..

Yes - this is because you don't really install grub when you do that, it's just a change in MBR so it points to the /boot of that installation
hd0 is the same for all...
