Maybe he doesn't mean win is gone. He deleted Linux and now Win is still there but Grub is in the way when he tries to boot. That is how I understood the problem.

Try install/reinstall bootloader?

Yes you have to do that everytime probably becourse it doesn't look for boot at the right partition. When doing like that you swap it to the right place.

You need to create the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. In this file you need to create a stanza for Windows XP. The grub manual provides samples of how to do this.
