Question GRUB settings - different problem ^^

hi
i have a bootloading problem on a dual bootsystem
and i have 5 partitions, on one disk (305 Gb)

Code:
 50 Gb	Ubuntu 	(ext3 - Primary)
 30 Gb  Win XP	(NFTS - Primary)
------------------------------------
225 Gb		(extended - Primary)
 80 Gb	Data1	(NFTS - Logical)
145 Gb	Data2	(NFTS - Logical)
------------------------------------
102 Mb  empty	(NFTS - Pimary)

BEFORE
- Vista
- Win XP
the dual booting was managed by vista and worked well
then i deleted vista, and installed Ubuntu


CURRENT
- Ubuntu
- Win XP
now the booting is managed by grub
and to add windows i changed the menu.lst file:

Code:
default		0
timeout		3

map (hd0,0) (hd0,1)
map (hd0,1) (hd0,0)

title		Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=65b740af-d77c-415b-9333-df29bfd72f69 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet

title		Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=65b740af-d77c-415b-9333-df29bfd72f69 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

title		Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

title		Windows XP
rootnoverify	(hd0,1)
savedefault
chainloader +1
* the red part is what i added to the existing menu.lst

but only Ubuntu works, when i select Win XP i get a black screen saying "Starting up ..."
so how do i get windows to boot ?

Boot into Ubuntu and open a terminal. Run this command, "sudo fdisk -l" and post the output here.
