you could always install one of the other boot loaders and be done with it 
instead of trying to fight MS's boot loader onto the MBR. e.g. just install 
lilo using your rescue disc with just one entry (your WinXP install) and the 
boot delay set to 0.

simple, guaranteed to work and we could get back to the business of discussing 
Linux on this list ;-)
