Hi,

I installed a Linux system on a separate hard drive and I want to start
both, Windows XP and Linux from the Windows boot menu.

I've extracted the Linux system's boot sector using BootPart
(http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm) and integrated it to BOOT.INI:


You probably did not read the instructions
as it specifies that your active partition to be fat16.

The easy was to have done this was to have simply installed Linux on
your 2nd drive while the XP drive was still on the machine
and just have let Grub handle the booting
