Boot from your Windows XP CD and when asked whether to install, choose
to enter the Recovery Console.

Then enter the command FIXMBR, which should remove GRUB from your system.

FIXMBR tries to guess which harddrive your system boots from.  If it
doesn't guess correctly, you may need to use the MAP command to find
the correct harddrive and run FIXMBR \Device\HardDisk<...>.

You may also find the FIXBOOT command helpful.  FIXBOOT will write a
new bootloader to a partition.

All this is documented on Microsoft's website, so if you need further
help with these tools, point Google to their site (eg. search for
"site:microsoft.com fixmbr" w/o the apostrophes).
