Hello, I think if you simply make use of the windows xp setup at the other partition of the hard drive then you will able to get the solution for your problem. So, just try it and then I think you will able to get the solution for your problem. And while making use of it you just need to keep the option of the without formatting and you will able to use the linux also. Just try it.
