How about "simply": 1) buying a second drive, 2) installing it as the master on the primary controller, 3) install LILO on this new drive 4) config LILO to boot: a) Windows off hda b) Linux off hdb but to swap drive mappings between hda and hdb Hopefully, you'll be able to boot either OS without changes. You'll also have the added benefit of removing the Linux HD before installing WinXP thereby eliminating the possibility that WinXP will automatically reformat the the Linux HD.
