How do you install and boot two Window XP programs in one or two hard disks?
You'll need to partition the disk so that you can have space for both OS's. Then you'll need a bootloader, such as LILO (Linux Loader) or some other bootloader that lets you select the OS. Install whatever Windows OS you need into one partition while the other partition is disabled. Windows will take over every partition on the computer if it can. Then enable the other partition and load whatever OS you want. After that, install the bootloader. Recognize that if you're using Linux of almost any flavor LILO is already there. Good luck.
How do you change the file system size in Linux?

Does deleting a partition while installing Xp means formatting the partition?
No. However, formatting a partition will effective erase everything from an existing partition.

Steps Needed to Install Linux?
Ever want to install Linux but were not really sure how to get started? Because of its history with Unix and its attempts to emulate it many people wrongly view Linux as a user-unfriendly operating system. True, it’s still somewhat particular about who its friends are, but Ubuntu and Mint have made Linux approachable for a new user.So, how does a new user go about installing Linux? If a person has a CD-R or more likely, a DVD-R, all he has to do is download the first installation ISO from the software depository for his chosen operating system flavor. Slackware users should find the Gnome Slack Build to make the process easier. The next step is burning the software onto the CD. Nero and other popular DVD burning programs can do this for most users. A freeware program called ImgBurn works just as well. Burning the CD will get a computer the bootable disk that he needs to install Linux, but it does not stop the process. Fortunately, the latest releases usually use a graphical installation interface. The first installation steps require the user to detect his keyboard layout and select the default language. Esperanto is even a choice for Ubuntu users. As with a fresh Windows installation, Linux users must set up a partition, although 3 partitions are most common. The first partition is a swap spaced used for extra memory. The second partition is generally used for vital operating system files. The third partition is where user data gets stored. Debian, Ubuntu and Mint will guide the user through this step when the user decides to install Linux. The installation programs will walk you through the rest of the steps. It may ask you to install the Network. If you do not have an Ethernet cable ready, it is best to skip this step and do it later. Select “do not configure the network at this time” when prompted. When you instal Linux, most programs move into copying files during the next step. At the end, it will ask you to instal Grub. While you do not need to do so, Grub lets you easily choose between multiple operating systems, something Windows only does if you want to choose between different Microsoft operating systems.

How do you resize a partition on a hard drive?
There is an excellent program available for this called "partition magic." It is pretty much the only way to re-size partitions without having to format & thus losing the data. Its not free, but it is pretty cheap for as good as it is. The link below will take you to a list of freeware & shareware programs which also may be able to help. But remember, when working with partitions tread carefully, one wrong click and its all gone. Incorrect: While partition magic will do what you want it is by no means the best nor is it the only option. The best and free option is to download almost any of the Linux live CD's and use their program called g partition. Don't be afraid of this because it is "Linux". It is just as easy to use as windows, I swear. There is even a special Linux that only has g-parted on it, it is extremely small and can run from a usb drive or live CD. G-parted is better because the hard drive in question does not even have to be bootable in order to use it, plus it is free. Also it can format into both NTFS and Fat plus the Linux formats so you can use it to make drives for Mac or Windows. It is awesome check it out.
