No, that is not advisable. How will you get the XP boot loader to boot

A google on " dual boot windows linux ntloader howto " turned up

amongst others...
Why anyone would bother with this kind of convoluted approach, I really
don't know, since grub on the MBR works just fine, but whatever...

Why not do what all of us have been doing for 10 years?
Install grub/lilo to /dev/hda
Install Windows to /dev/hda1
Install Linux to <wherever>
Confidure grub/lilo - all OSes boot properly
Exactly. In fact the installer detects the windows partition and adds the
relevant stanza to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst anyway. It really is
puzzling why so many people seem to think that this "wrecks" the windows
install.
