Your windoze problem, is just that, XP and most windoze flavours need to be installed on the 'c' drive, ie the first partition on the first IDE drive. That has to do with the way windoze boot record works. It may be possible to install a second windoze on another partition, but you will need to change the MBR, to a boot manager that can boot windows from a non standard location.
Linux you can install any where you like. When you install linux, with a windoze system already installed, the MBR is replaced with Grub, or Lilo. ( usually grub ). It will find the windoze install, and add a record so windoze will boot.
What you could do, is run a virtual machine on Linux, and install a second windoze to the virtual machine. That will work, and allow you to run windoze, and linux at the same time. I use Sun's virtual box for that.
