Did you change the boot order in the BIOS, or add another drive when 
you installed Fedora? It looks like XP was the first 2 drives as a 
RAID array, but your Grub config has it as the second BIOS drive, 
and FEdora as the first BIOS drive.

If you changed the BIOS boot order, reset it and make sure XP boots. 
If it does, we can tell you how to modify the Grub config so that XP 
sees the old BIOS configuration while still booting from the 3rd 
SATA drive. We just have to tell Grub to fake the BIOS drive order 
that XP expects.
