dual boot problem

Here's what I have, and what I'd like to do.

Windows xp 64 bit continuously crashes. I've tried people's suggestions and
did chkdsk /r and defrag. That didn't help at all. I even disabled something
about restart on error.  I'd rather not have Windows, but I need it for many
games because I have an 8800 gts. Last time I began to install xp after I
had Linux, I got to the part of the installation for partitioning. Windows
didn't show any of my ext3 partitions. I then rebooted without doing
anything, and my ext3 partitions were gone. I then booted from a live cd and
used testdisk to recover them. I hear of many people installing xp after
Linux. They just had to reinstall Grub. How can I do it?
