Dual boot XP and Centos 5.x using the NTLDR bootloader

How can one dual boot Windows XP sp2 and Centos 5.x using the NTLDR bootloader? I wanted to install CentOS onto a spare partition on a machine with Windows XP already installed, leaving the MBR as it was and using the NTLDR bootloader.

One way is to use Grub4dos. Here is a Dual Booting Fedora (Windows XP already installed, NTLDR method which talks about Fedora but should equally apply to Centos.
