Absolutely. During XP setup, you have an option to choose where to install the OS. Just choose to delete your existing partition, follow the instructions, and then create a partition in the empty space and install XP there. Please note that this will delete all of your files and settings unless you have them saved at a different place such as an external hard drive or another partition.

It is generally not a recommended procedure. The abrasion of carpet on carpet will cause both layers to wear prematurely.
