But that is only one of the issues.  Bootloader is probably the main
issue to deal with.  When you install a Linux it most often replaces
your Master Boot Record (MBR)(the first sector (512 bytes) of the
disk).  Fedora will do so with GRUB stage one.  If you are otherwise
set up to do so you can chainload XP, but often security applications
and other machine management software may see fit to "fix" the MBR
back to an XP MBR.  Probably a good solution is to chain load Linux
through the XP boot loader.

That's the way I do it on my machine. The Windows XP MBR and
Boot Manager chainload GRUB from a BR on my Linux Boot partition.
The Win XP boot manager actually works pretty well, and is easy
to configure. I second this recommendation.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
