Likely easyest it to install 'easy bcd' on your XP partition. It will set up a duel boot useing XP's boot manager. I have never used it but others do post success. Download EasyBCD 2.0.2 - NeoSmart Technologies

Or if you have a live linux cd and 'boot' is on a primary partition (logical volume will not work), you can use 'fdisk' or what ever gui partition editor and make the partition 'boot' active/bootable. Might be able to do in in XP's diskmanagement. If you later decied to remove linux be sure to make the XP partition active/bootable, before removeing linux.

You will need to grub-install /dev/sda
to put GRUB into the MBR.

You may need to edit its configuration after booting
into Linux, because it probably will not automatically
set up dual boot.
