WinXP overwrote the Master Boot Record (MBR) on the disk. It'll do this. 
You need to re-install GRUB to the MBR. If you can get a GRUB bootable 
floppy disk, you can just install GRUB from the grub command line on the 
floppy disk. Once you're at the GRUB command line, type

	help setup

to learn more. In general,

	setup (hd0)

will be quite enough... or is it

	setup hd0

? Anyway, that's the idea.

Hopefully this'll put you on the right track.
