tombo proposed the following answer:
Hello Kamal.sharma18, I just had a similar problem and after a lot of
reading and trying different things, the following worked for me.

after   <  ###END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST   >
  if windows is on sdb1 in menu.lst it becomes hd1,0 everything is one  less. this example shows windows on my pc as (hd1,1) which is actually sdb.
add this ( probably not exactly) 

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

title           WindowsXP
rootnoverify    (hd1,1)
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader     +1 
boot

   Oh don't forget to save the file and when it closes run <sudo grub-
update> and finally type<     sudo reboot > and that should do it.
I hope this works for you.    tombo
