I was wary about partitioning and formatting, but I bit the bullet and took a guess; worked out in the end. I now have a perfect dual-boot!

I ALSO figured out how to fix my master boot record WITHOUT a Windows XP disk when I tried to switch back from Linux. The penguin won't let you go! Are you proud?

It really isn't, although like I said - when you go back make sure you have a WinXP disc handy to fix your boot.
