If you have a closer look at the file menu.lst, you should find an 
example for a Windows entry at sda1. I would try this entry, which is 
that example entry but modified for sda5:

title         Windows XP
root          (hd0,4)
makeactive
chainloader   +1

There is a hint in menu.lst:

# Put static boot stanzas before and/or after AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST

If you adhere to that advice, your manual entry should survive upgrades.
