You can try using Lilo. Not exactly the answer you wanted, but I know that works, at least. Your distro should have easy options for changing bootloaders.

This problem is generally seen when u have the Windows XP partition as NTFS .... as there is some problem with NTFS and grub and bootloader... is what i know...just try making ur windows xp partition fat32 if it is NTFS

You need to take in to account that Windows must be the first Hard Drive and partition when using GRUB to boot windows.

Can you post your GRUB configuration file (/boot/grub/grub.conf)
Also, the /boot/grub/device.map file contains the mapping for your HDDs (Linux to GRUB).
To output your partition tables, type:
Code:
fdisk -l

I got winxp (when i had it installed) and linux to boot from grub following the Gentoo install guide which lists a grub setup for it:
