I would still recommend that you step away from the crack pipe...

I don't think that ghosting is a way to do a dual boot system. It's
possible but you have to be careful. Also, you would have to manually
fix the boot mechanisms afterward. I would just use installer disks for
Linux after already having WinXP installed on a partition that is less
than the total size of the HD, thus leaving room for Linux.
