Dual boot WinXP repair (maybe a little OT)

So I installed WinXP on an old computer, then repartitioned with
qparted. I added a partition in front of the Windows one for /boot and
one after for a LVM volume. Then I installed F10. I loaded grub in the
boot record of the /boot partition and left the MBR alone. I
re-numbered the partitions so that /boot is sda1, Windows is sda2, and
the rest is sda3. There is no extended partition.
Now WinXP won't boot.
Is there a simple way to reconfigure the WinXP side so that its boot
loader works again (without re-installing)? I changed the boot.ini
partition number, but that didn't help.
TIA.
