That'll be a NTFS filesystem in a XP (DOS) partition.
Linux will see it just fine... and will allow you to mount FAT32 or NTFS
partitions (NT readonly)
I've used grub as bootloader, and it boots WINXP just fine (just like
any other MS-os...)
Lilo shouldn't have any problems with it either... bootloaders haven't
changed with XP (still the same from win95 :) )
