At the end of your menu.lst do you have?:

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
Title  Windows XP
root  (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader  +1

or

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
Title  Windows XP
root  (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader  +1
boot

Either of those should give you the option at the grub boot menu to down
arrow and attempt a boot to windows.
