For many years I have overwritten the Windows entry in the MBR. Should you 
wish to reinstall it in the future, it has been quite trivial.  I have no 
experience with XP but believe the same operation works.

I have used Gag as one respondent mentioned using it on a floppy and on the 
hard disk.  I haven't tried this but I think I saw an option during install 
to put Grub on a floppy which will allow dual booting. Check the grub man 
page.
