Just a guess... maybe you need to map drives for booting XP.
I have Windows on my primary slave (hdb) and Gentoo on my primary master (hda). When I installed Windows, I disconnected hda and installed it as if hdb was the primary drive, so if I want to boot Windows now, I have to map drives to make hdb appear as the master drive. Windows is unable to boot otherwise, such a shitty system that it is... Here's my grub.conf.
