add entry sudo text editor (gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst):

code:

title windows bootloader access rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0) +1

you adjust hd(0,0) match partition xp's boot.ini file resides.

have add map function if xp installed on different drive whaich addressed differently after addition of ubuntu. that's this:

code:

title windows bootloader access map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader (hd1,0) +1
