Yeah, unless you tell the GRUB installer to install into the MBR, it kind of depends on you not deleting it to function...

Run the fixmbr program from the windows CD's recovery console to get a new NT boot loader in the MBR.

For reference, you can screw up NT's boot loader by deleting it too. Try installing Win98 on your machine after installing XP.
