Get a copy of DOS startup boot disk (win 98 or ME is also ok). And in command prompt type: 'fdisk /mbr' without quote and you are saved :)) PS: If you have original Win XP installation disk than just boot up with it and choose to command prompt.

2 other solutions: 1) If your windows is in the first partition, you can type this from grub: rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 boot 2) Reinstall Linux to reinstall grub -- Chivas Sicam
