Have a look at chainloader --bpb and ntldr commands. They both do the 
necessary  patching. You need to change only partition start and bios 
disk values. I don't know the behaviour on a system which supports only 
C/H/S addressing (that would put it around 95, probably even earlier) 
but I'd expect that such an old machine is simply not powerful enough to 
run Windows XP.
Also any modern system, especially with disks over C/H/S limit (8.3GB) 
emulate the same 255/63 geometry
