I did it for a while, but got tired of it :-). It is good that
XP is already installed, because my experience has been that
a single ext3 filesystem in any partition anywhere on any disk
will make the XP installer crash almost the instant it starts,
so XP absolutely has to come first :-).
I haven't found that.
Windows XP seems quite good at sticking to its own part of the disk.
in my experience.
Given a blank disk, I would install XP first,
but I've found no problem re-installing XP in its own partition.
Of course, it over-writes grub in the MBR,
but that is to be expected.
