You should create a boot floppy to boot your Linux off after moving.
Check this
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialRecoveryAndBootDisk.html#GRUB
Then modify as necessary.
Then install a second HDD, make it master off primary IDE, install XP.
Then put back Linux HDD as your second HDD, boot off of floppy and
configure to boot XP from there.
Check this tutorial.
