In my gentoo grub config (that's the only linux I have together with
windows XP) it says

# Windows
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1 

So that sort of matches your configuration.

I still find it rather strange that Windows XP won't reinstall. I'm
pretty sure there is a utility called 'FIXMBR' which fixes the master
boot record (as you would kinda expect) to boot to windows. You should
be able to access it via the rescue disks (which you of course created
when installing windows), or the installation cd. However, be warned
that it might then be hard to get into your debian system again...
