I suspect this may have to do with the fact that windows doesn't like being

drive it was IDE0.
There's another idea that rushed into my mind during a nice walk with my dog:
The boot.ini file from your XP install now is in /dev/hdc0, isn't it, after you have moved the drive? And probably there is a line in it like
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect
pointing to the first partition on ide0 (and probably a similar line starting with 'default').
Now your Windows XP is in ide2, but boot.ini still points to ide0. So, if you can mount /dev/hdc1 in read/write (it's not ntfs?), change the occurance(s) of rdisc(0) to rdisc(2).
If you can't mount hdc1 r/w, perhaps you can change the boot.ini with a rescue console starting from your XP installation CD.
