Write clearly, please...your question is hard to follow. And I have no idea what "OEL5" is...do you mean RedHat Enterprise (RHEL) 5? If you're not paying for a subscription to the RedHat network/support, install CentOS instead.
And if you want "that the links like", put "dual boot windows xp and linux" into Google. You'll find lots. There are also many articles on THIS VERY SITE that have covered this many times...do a search here, too.

I would set up 2 main different partitions. One for that hog of a system (xp) and give it 50 GB of memory. As far as your oracle system is concerned http://http://www.oracle-base.com/ar...stallation.php provides a good idea on how to set up your individual partitions. Leave the rest of your hard disk open, you never know when you want to experiment with redhat, solaris, or any other open source.

Windows first, Linux later is easier.

Insert the disk, boot, follow the prompts.
What?

Whatever the facilities are in OEL5, whatever that is, for making partitions, use it for making partitions. Having made partitions, use them.
In what way is that ineffective?

OEL5 is probably "Oracle Enterprise Linux 5"... I feel like I need a shower now.
