You could install Grub on the Linux partition boot record instead of the MBR. There is plenty of documentation on how to add that as a boot option in XP. With a bit more work, you could create a boot CD that would not have to be changed when you update kernels - just build the Grub CD with the default option chainloading to the Linux partition, using a short timeout. This would transfer control to the Grub installation on the hard drive. As long as you keep a spare copy of the CD, you should be set as long as you do not damage both the working and backup copies at the same time. If the system will boot from a USB drive, you could also build a USB stick to do the same job. You could even make it the /boot partition, but that would be risky if you lost it, or somebody else uses it and re-formats it.
