It's not. It'll probably work, but perfect it isn't.

You should repartition first, if only to get the partitions right.
Take
a look at fdisk.

Foolish question: why would the partition table or partitions not be
"right" and what constitutes "right" in this context?


There's a field called "type" You don't want it set to "mountable filesystem" - commonly called hpfs/ntfs.

Use fdisk to list the partitions and see. Also, I think XP plays games with the space, reserves some outside partitions.
