Homeschool Hacker

(edit: I unintentionally added the icon to the forum post -- I'm not upset with Ubuntu!)
I upgraded to Hardy Haron via the alternate CD. Since then, my computer restarts whenever I try to boot into XP from grub.
Just for kicks, I changed the XP grub option to:
title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
with the same result.
Any help would be appreciated.
Below are the outputs of fdisk -l and menu.lst:
