Hello,
I did this a few weeks ago.
I set the active partition to this, rebooted and formatted the partition. rebooted from XP cd, installed to said partition and it installed its booty thing there. When all was working, I rebooted from my debian install disk
mkdir /mnt mount /dev/hdaXX /mnt [my real linux partition] chroot /mnt
vim /etc/lilo.conf
added:
other=/dev/hdaXXX [XP partition] label=XP
saved, reran lilo, made my linux partition active (so lilo needs to install there, something like "boot=/dev/hdaXX"), rebooted. Linux and WinXP available from LiLo.

Does anyone have experience in dual booting between Windows XP and Linux? I understand it is not possible to resize a NTFS partition (so I'll have to use partition magic to do it), but what about configuring Lilo?
