Should work.

Not really since Windows XP will quite likely overwrite the MBR of the
bootable partition. I guess you will have to re-install Grub afterwards.
But I'd say that's harmless.

No Windows version that I know of had ever a problem with that.

What's System Commander? BTW it doesn't make much difference to install

correctly configure Grub or Lilo afterwards.
