Pierre,

In fdisk, have you made sure you have the first partition as active (with an
asterisk)?

I would try:

One linux way:
- From the Linux rescue system, you could reinstall grub with a double-boot
configuration like

default=0
timeout=10
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message
title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        makeactive
        chainloader +1
title Linux
          kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=0x31a <...>
        initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd

One windows way:
- Can you repair the Windows install from the XP CD?
It should get back your access to windows, but possibly lose the Linux one.
You can then restart the process with grub...
