1. Install XP
2. Install Fedora

Should be that easy.

If you need more, there are numerous tutorials on the Google.

Yes it so, but in configure installation of fedora boot-loader, you must point for XP boot. Usuallly it is sda1. In installation process, you may see as a boot option in screen a point, that named "other". In most cases it is windows boot record and partition. You may check that is linked with sda1.
