yes ...
if you do .. you want to make sure XP backed up
and insert a new partition in the 40GB of reclaimed
XP space .. reformat the old Xp and restore
format the newly reclaimed 40GB for debian
and mounted as /NewHome
do you want to do all this risky work ??
- only if you want to learn and in the process
don't mind if you have a useless box if it didnt
do what you wanted and can restore from backups

yes ...
you can boot from anything .. including floppy
if you configured your MBR on that devices
( 1st hd, 2nd hd, floppy, nic, .. )

lots of reaading and prevention and data preservation
or just spend $20 for a new 20GB disks and you're done
with zero loss time and loss energy and zero headaches
