I recently used Boot Repair to fix GRUB startup, but now when I start my computer, Windows XP, my old OS, doesn't apppear. It shows Ubuntu, Ubuntu (recovery mode), memory test and a second memory test. There is also a subsection for previous Linux versions, but that only contains Ubuntu and its recovery. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like you need to detect your installed OSs again. Boot into your normal Ubuntu, open a terminal and run
sudo update-grub
That should detect all installed operating systems and update your grub accordingly. Windows should be there next time you reboot, as long as you see a line similar to this in the output:
Found Windows XP (loader) on /dev/sda2
