Greetings: Missed most of this thread so forgive if I make a stupid comment especially since I know nothing of WinXP:
Did you change /boot/grub/menu.lst?? Maybe your lashup doesn't use that file? Also, read somewhere, that WinXP does some strange things to the MBR, etc.. Don't know what, etc..
I do have two machines booting with Grub, several versions of Slackware 9.X as default, or selected, and Win9X as a selection partition.. It does work well for us... HTH.
Reading this post I was reminded of something I had once done to recover me Linux installation (it was RH8) after I had installed Windows XP and it had wiped the MBR clean. Standard advice is to always install Windows first and then Linux, but I figured I could do the opposite and still recover everything. I was right, but I went to this website for instructions: www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html
HTH,
