Scott: I am positive that I installed MS Windows XP first, after wiping
the HD. As previously explained, my first installation of WinXP did
*NOT* go well and there are 4 iterations on the HD.....  I have never
installed Windows after Linux.

Yes, it has a very small /boot for CentOS and then the LVM. Take care,
