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.
