That depends on where you put the windows xp.
Rule #1 have at least the /boot partition on disk 1.
Rule #2 if xp will be completely on drive two, configure your boot entry like
so:
other=/dev/hdb1
label=windows
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
That is my entry for my windowsxp installation on the second disk. HTH
