Do you have secure boot on or off? Try both ways.
If still not working, use Boot-Repair to rename files and try with secure boot on or off.
Boot-Repair - Updated Jan 1, 2013 to not rename first time, but rename if first time Windows does not boot. Post 706 and 711

Boot-Repair copied /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (in case the BIOS is hard-coded to boot into /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi or secure boot signed GRUB file shimx64.efi.
I disabled secure boot, and unchecked it in boot-repair. It now bypasses Grub and goes straight in to Windows.
Renamed files:
/EFI/Boot/bkpbootx64.efi
/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bkpbootmgfw.efi

Active partition in Windows is boot flag (*) with fdisk or most Linux tools. You can only have one active partition and it must the NTFS partition with the boot files.
If you copied boot.ini from CD, it may not be correct it has to refer to your boot partition and is hard coded, but is just a text file.
You may need to run the full set of XP repairs from XP disk including chkdsk.
