Yes you're such a pain in the ass.

The install order was wrong. ME, XP and Linux.

Reinstall Linux
Install grub on 1st sector of Linux partition
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=boot.lnx bs=512 count=1
cp boot.lnx /mnt/floppy
Boot XP
copy boot.lnx c:\
edit boot.ini
After multi(0)..., add
C:\boot.lnx="linux"
Reboot
