Hallo,
The Other hat gesagt: // The Other wrote:
So what file system should I install Windows XP with

read and write to it with Linux?
FAT32.
Also, is Windows XP going to grab an entire disk for
install? Or will
it play nice and install only in usable partitions that I set up for
it?
If you take care while formatting, paritioning, then it is possible to
let XP install only in one partition. However you will need to install
Grub/Lilo again afterwards, as Win installs it's own boot sector
(IIRC).
Generally it's best to first install Windows, then Linux, but it works
the other way around as well. Keep a Linux-boot-CD handy, in case
something goes wrong. (You did a backup, did you?)
Ciao
