Maybe...

But I for one would be making sure my saves were backed up, even if
you can currently read them under Linux. You're better off making a
partition of say 2GB for the XP boot drive, incidently, even if the games
and so on are installed on a FAT32 drive.

(I dual boot XP and 2000, 'cos I have a few programs which are XP-
only now...)
