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.

What is system partitioning?
System partitioning is a computing term for disk partitions of a hard disk drive that must exist and be properly configured for a system to operate correctly. The system partition refers to the disk volume containing hardware specific files needed to boot Windows (NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and so on). On Intel x86-based machines, it must be a primary partition that has been marked active. On x86 machines, this is always drive 0, the drive the system BIOS searches during system boot for the operating system.The partitons are generally on the same hard disk but the OSs regard them as separate.
