Yes, so this means that if you have XP installed, you can resize its partition and install Linux on the remaining space. This should work fine....until your XP installation gets corrupted, in which case you will need to use your restore CD, which will wipe out your Linux partition(s) and leave you with the XP setup you started with initially. Nice, huh?
I believe the only way around this is to have the full installation disk for XP. Good luck getting it from your computer OEM. You would think that since you paid for the OS, that you are entitled to it, but I have heard of people having a lot of trouble getting the full install CD.
