Very easy. Just let lilo or grub know about WinXP, and you are good to

Yes. But in Linux you can install dosemu to run dos programs or wine
to run windows programs. It doesn't work for all programs though. In

By default, most Linux installers are set to ext3, and XP's default is
NTFS, but you can

I found this package in stable:
Package: libntfs3 (1.6.0-1)
Library that provides common NTFS access functions.
The Linux-NTFS project (http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/) aims to bring full
