hi people,
i have windows xp and debian installed on my system.
i had xp running initially. later i installed debian on it. i installed debian using an installer
my problem is that i cant boot into xp . following is the o/p from fdisk

after the installation i couldnt boot into xp as there was no option to do so. during booting. so i installed grub and did update-grub..
i also added this entry to my grub file but it wont help..
