If I was in your shoes at this point, I would use Partition Magic or
Partimage or some equivalent tool to delete the NTFS partition and
slide all the Linux partitions down. I would then recreate the NTFS
partition at the front (or maybe let the XP install do it) and
then install XP.

You would probably have to then boot from the rescue disk and 
reinstall grub with grub-install to get a dual boot system.

Your mileage may vary.
