All GRUB does is takes a list of OS' on the machine and displays them in a list allowing you to select which one to boot

Well I think you need to do some Google searching and you will see that GRUB has a problem with XP. There’s a small bug in grub that it changes your partition table type. I got the blue screen because it could not find the partition to boot from, it only loaded from the boot sector then XP stopped loading right at the screen where the XP logo came up. After I switched the partition back it worked fine.

I used a program called ptedit to edit the partition if you were interested.
