Add an entry in /etc/lilo.conf for windows XP. Then rerun lilo.

These lines should be all you need:
other=/dev/hda1
label = Windows(XP)

Note: replace hda1 with whatever partition windows is on.

P.S. This assumes you're using lilo, which is the default boot loader in
Debian. If you're using grub then it's a bit different.

Hope that helps,
