i not see wrong boot script.

if windows boot screen grub done , windows in charge. sounds windows issue.

might try running chkdsk windows install cd.

repair windows mounting issues windows xp cd - not run fixmbr unless want windows boot loader in mbr.
fixboot c:
xp chkdsk
chkdsk drive /p /r
chkdsk command checks specified drive , repairs or recovers drive if drive requires it. command marks bad sectors , recovers readable information.
chkdsk c: /r
can use following options:
/p exhaustive check of drive , corrects errors.
/r locates bad sectors , recovers readable information.
note if specify /r option, /p option implied. when specify chkdsk command without arguments, command checks current drive no options in effect.
