The simplest way is to start with windows already installed.
If you didn't leave any free space on the hard drive, you will need to
shrink the windows partition. This can be done with Partition Magic,
or a live Linux CD like Knoppix.
Start the BU Linux installation.
At the partitioning screen, choose "Use free space on selected drives
and create default layout".
After the installation, the bootloader will have an option for
"other", which points to your windows installation. You can edit the
title of the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst. If you already have both Windows and Linux on your system you can
simply add an entry into /boot/grub/menu.lst like the following:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
