I don't know what's your partition topology, but you may want to use:

fixboot (to rewrite the partition boot record on the WinXP partition)
fixmbr (to rewrite the MBR boot code on the disk MBR)

with a MSWindows CD.

If the partition of the WinXP installation is intact then the position of the 
partition on the disk may be causing you trouble, in which case play around 
with the GRUB hide and chainload options to hide other disks/partitions, so 
that WinXP thinks it is the first partition on the first disk.
