If I'm not mistaken (but check this as I'm not confident) you can tell
the XP installer not to partition the drive but use the existing NTFS
partition.

This SHOULD (but make a working backup off course) leave your linux
system alone.  The only issue will be that XP will nuke the MBR.
Booting a live distro or Fedora's rescue disk will get you into your
system.  Then reinstall grub to your MBR and you should be set.

Regards

Bram
