your best way would probably be just what you thought of, start your pc with your windows XP cd in the drive, and use the repair feature to repair the boot information.
the above answer wont help you……
try this it will definetly work
start linux then start the terminal..
(aplication—>accesaries—>terminal)
then type: cd /boot/grub
then type: su -c ‘gedit menu.lst’
it will ask you root password enter it……….
gedit will open………
type the below lines and add it to the bottom of the file
from HERE TO
#————————————
title<tab> Windows XP
label <tab> < enter your c drive name(label)>
savedefault
chainloader <tab> +1
#——————————————–
<tab> means blank press tab
< enter your c drive name(label)> means replace with
your drive label
here
tip:: you can see the label from linux also ..just the drive name
by doing this you can add the xp in the startup menu of linux
so u can now start Windows xp…..
for furtherdetails and doubts… just mail ….. i will help you
