Default PLZ help a Linux n00b out!

So I decided to dual boot my PC. WinXP pro was already installed. I used Partition Magic to create a Linux partition and then I successfully installed Red Hat 9. However, now I have no way of booting back into Windows. During the Linux install it gave me the option of selecting or adding operating systems to boot to. Other than Linux, the only other one was DOS. When I select DOS to boot to I get this error message.

Booting 'DOS'
root noverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1

and it just hangs. If I boot into Red Hat everything loads up fine. I'm pretty positive that I installed on the new partition and didn't write over the Windows install.

Specs on this machine (if it helps) are:
P4 2.4 HT
120GB IDE HDD
1024MB DDR 400
Award BIOS on Asus P4S800 mobo

Any help is appreciated.
