Yes it will. Provided you remember to do the following during the blue stage install of XP:
1) Select the current XP partition and delete it (do not select or delete the second partition)
2) There will be a new unpartitioned area where the XP partition used to be. Select it and create a new partition
3) Make sure that you select the new partition before pressing enter to install XP to it.
