Windows entry not showing in Grub menu

Basically, I deleted my partition with 8.04 and created a new partition for 9.04, ran into an error 17 problem with grub, so I had reinstalled it. Now I have two problems:

The entry for my Windows XP partition is not showing up on the boot menu, and the Windows entry that does show (the recovery partition) won't load.

Here's the information from menu.lst:

Code:
title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid		7d13db34-62db-4ac2-bfef-2cacb22707f2
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=7d13db34-62db-4ac2-bfef-2cacb22707f2 ro quiet splash 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet
