I promise I searched for a good hour before posting up. I'm running Mandriva 2008 installed from DVD on my laptop. I want to dual boot it with Windows XP for hardware compatibility stuff (Pinnacle PCTV To Go at the moment). I know now doing Linux over windows would have been better, but to late now. I have already been running Linux on this machine for a while now, it has all my stuff, and it's set up the way I like it. Thanks guys and sorry if it's already out there and I missed it!

If you have a Mandriva Installation CD you can boot up your system from it, select rescue mode and in the rescue mode "GUI" you can choose reinstall bootloader, after restart you should be greeted by the mandriva bootloader (it should contain an additional entry for windows)
