Dual booting XP and linux is a breeze especially with
lilo. Edit lilo.conf as if it _doesn't_ know about XP.
Run lilo.
Then mount a floppy formatted vfat and become root,
then:
dd if=/dev/<wherever_linux_boots_from> bs=512 count=1
of= /mnt/floppy/linux.bin
unmount floppy and boot windows.
Now do copy a:\linux.bin c:\.
Next add the following to boot.ini:
c:\linux.bin="Linux".
Next boot you'll be given a choice, XP or Linux.
This is documented in google.groups in several places.

I have no problems setting up Gentoo with XP dual boot with either Lilo
or Grub, I have grub currently installed and its running happily ;o)
