Brilliant, nicely done :)))
I think from a command line just try typing in

cd /boot/grub
ls
sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst.310709
ls
sudo gedit menu.lst

Note that "ls" is a lower-case "LS" and shows what files are in the
folder.  The 2nd time you should see that a new file, "menu.lst.310709"
has appeared ;) Oh and also note that "menu.lst" is a lower-case
"MENU.LST"

Anyway the text-editor "gedit" should open "menu.lst", now just scroll
right down to the end of menu.lst to make sure you either already have a
section like this or else copy one in

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

please show us what you get when you type

sudo fdisk -l

on another command-line for us to know exactly what numbers to put in the "rootnoverify" part.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
