Windows XP is based on Technology from Windows NT.
In my experience - install XP first - then create partitions to install Linux.
WHen Linux is installed you need to make an image file that can be installed on the Windows C: drive.
The Windows NT/XP boot manager can then be set to run this image when Linux is to be ran. (this way LILO is not needed and prior to XP you couldn't run Linux any other way with NT.
This method of installation is well documented in the linux community on "How to install NT and Linux". It works for me - I no longer need LILO. I boot Linux using the XP boot manager.
