Try to enter into the BIOS (hold Del key when booting) and switch bootable HDD to other HDD than currently selected. I suppose you have WinXP boot loader into one HDD (it doesn't show the menu and boot Linux) and GRUB boot loader into another HDD, but your BIOS is configured to boot from first HDD.

Hi

Which do you boot into? or can't boot into any? Perhaps this guide helps?

Good luck with this, feel free to ask for help on how to do this if needed
