Go here for a tutorial on using grub and making a Grand Unified Boot
Floppy :)
Play with it a little and ensure you can use it to boot to Linux before you
install XP.
Once XP is installed reinstall grub, and in menu.lst add a stanza like this:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot
