bah you can always use LILO or something like that for bootloader...
i had WIN98 and then i installed Red Hat linux. Worked ok.
1. defrag (so you don't lose any data
2. make partitions on emtpy space using a program like Partition magic (doesn't format the drive). whaever pleases you Fat 32, Fat 16, NTFS...
3. install desired system on the newly created partition.
item 3 - see my post above: system should be placed on first 5 or 6 GB of HDD. at least that goes for linux. but you can always check on microsoft how does that go for Win XP.
