My method is to boot the linux cd and partition the
drive but I don't format the 1st one. Then boot the XP
cd and install it to the first partition _then_ boot
the linux cd again and install linux onto the rest. I
like to include a fat partition to allow ease of
access from linux to XP. 

HTH, Maxim
