You can install os-prober to detect other OS automatically, or you can add it entry manually, something like this:

set root=(hd0,1) chainloader +1 boot

Or:

set root=(hd0,1) ntldr /ntldr boot

You need to change (hd0,1) if windows is installed in other partition. If XP is in the second hard disk, you need to use drivemap command to swap disk number.
