what is it you realy want to do, format the hard drive so you can install xp ?

xp must be installed first, but don't use the full disk space, leave a bunch as free unallocated space, after xp is installed, then you can install which distro of linux you want on the unalocated space, this will give you the dual boot if thats what you want.
