Yes.

I figured out the issue!

First in console, I did "/sbin/fdisk -lu" and it showed two active boot partitions (the windows XP install at sda1 and a "W95 Ext'd" at sda4. (What is that?)

So then I did "/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda" and then did option "a" and chose partition #4, and then "w" (to write the changes), and restarted and it boots perfectly into windows!
