Windows XP already simulates Windows, similar to how Rosetta simulates PPC. So, I believe the best option is to utilize Windows XP's own MSDOS subsystems. This way, you are guarenteed to have a working system.

Hi!

If the partition of WinXP has FAT32 file system THEN you can install it

You cannot run DOS parallel to Windows. You can only "simulate" or
"emulate" it in Windows. Via QEMU for example.
