Ya that can be done easily.. actually you have to copy missing files from i386 directory of windows installation cd to your installation of winXP,

btw look windows support forum for that, and then you can recover boot loader easily if you lost that in the process of making winxp boot. see few earlier post about that or see Recovering Grub from crash (http://www.linuxsolved.com/forums/ftopic675.html)
