Most Linux OS's walk you through dual booting. Choose your prefered Linux OS and burn it to a disc and run it. You could also partition your hard drive from the XP side and create a space for your Linux OS to run in. If you are new to Linux, it is recomended to run the OS without actually installing it, that way you can get the feel of Linux without completely installing it.

If you are dual-booting Windows XP and Linux how can you reinstall XP without interrupting Linux?

Before you format xp you will need to go onto Linux and create a grub boot disk by typing grub-install /dev/fd0. This will create a floppy disk which you can use to start Linux after you have removed and reinstalled xp. After removing and reinstalling xp use the disk to get back onto Linux and use grub-install /dev/hda to restore the Linux boot screen.

Sounds like a problem with Windows XP. What you should have tried to do is take the original hard drive, put in the xp install disk, to the install, choose to format the hard drive, and then continue with the XP install. BTW: XP > Vista. Linux > XP. You should install Linux, instead of XP.
