You should add the following lines at the end of the file
/etc7grub/grub.conf:

title Windows XP     
     map (hd0) (hd1)
     map (hd1) (hd0)
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1

The map mechanismsometimes does not work. You may try to delete the map
lines and use hd(1,0) for rootnoverify. Maybe better to use the first hd
for windows and the second for linux. Linux is much more capable and
configurable.
