If you take care while formatting, paritioning, then it is possible to let XP install only in one partition. However you will need to install Grub/Lilo again afterwards, as Win installs it's own boot sector (IIRC). Generally it's best to first install Windows, then Linux, but it works the other way around as well. Keep a Linux-boot-CD handy, in case something goes wrong. (You did a backup, did you?)
