Just leave some free space for a FAT/NTFS partition at the beginning of the physical drive. > Is it possible to install Debian first and then Windows XP later > on??

But this can usually be done easily with a live CD (or the rescue option of the Debian first CD). But ensure that you don't allow Windows to touch the space of the Debian installation.
