You said that the only way that you can boot into windows is by:

So try modifying your menu.lst to the same (gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst):

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# Non-linux OS on /dev/sda1
title        Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root        (hd2,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader    +1

You should also from a terminal:

$ sudo update-grub
