Just checked Ubuntu Bugzilla and it has been reported by others.

passed a copy of Ubuntu onto a work colleague who fell upon it with glee and installed it on his Toshiba Tecra S2 laptop. He wanted dual boot with Windows XP. All went well until he found that on selecting Windows XP from the Grub menu he got "NTLDR not found".
After checking the grub menu.lst file on my system (I dual boot between windows XP and Linux quite happily) and making sure that they were the same, a quick google brought up this little gem on the Fedora bug list;
Bug 115980 - will not boot to windows partition using grub menu https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=115980
Reading through the text it seems that this has more to do with the BIOS settings rather than the distro used.
