I Installed UBUNTU Linux in my system as Dual boot with Win XP.
I'm able to see GRUB OS Menu with OS options and Ubuntu boots as

that Windows was installed in Logical partition (E: Drive and

I believe you can't install Windoze in an extended partition.
Any of the NT based Windows will install the files on a logical partition,
but the ntldr, and boot.ini must be on an active primary partition.
Boot.ini will redirect the loader to the logical partition with the system
files.
OP needs to find out which primary partition has the ntldr and boot.ini
and use that as the Windows root partition in the grub menu.lst. It used
to be (hd0,0) but many OEM computer builders have taken to using (hd0,0)
for a restore partition, and installing Windows on (hd0,1). The fact that
the system files are on (hd0,5) also suggests that WinXP may have
originally been installed as part of an all Windows dual boot. If the OP
has removed a Win9x that was originally on the Windows C: drive, ntldr and
boot.ini were in that partition, and are now gone. More information is
needed to make an accurate diagnosis for a cure.
