1. For removing XP you just delete the drive containing XP while partitionaing f
or linux.
2. For installing 2 OS.
a. First install XP
b. Second install linux
c. Most new linux distros wil recognize you r windows installation.
Good Luck

n the site below:

This process takes less amount of time also. It uses a virtual drive to copy the
