Your Windows XP installation must boot up!!!
Find in your active drive boot.ini file. Open it and add the line
C:\Windows="Windows 98 SE"

Now your Boot.ini must look something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\Windows="Windows 98 SE"
