Are you sure you still have Windows XP installed? Maybe you selected to 
use the entire disk for the installation of Ubuntu. Anyway, if it is 
still there, you can add Windows to your file /boot/grub/menu.lst. You 
need root privilege to modify the file. Therefore use the command

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

in a terminal. Search for the line

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

and add these lines before the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST line:

title           Microsoft Windows
root            (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader     +1

Now you will start Windows as default. If you prefer to use Ubuntu as 
default, change the line

default         0

and make it look like this:

default         1
