the free space installed widows xp home. but during the install of windows
xp it deactivated the linux partition now i cant seem to reactivate it so i
can multiboot

The Windows installer is not as intelligent as the Linux installer. It is
recommended to do the installs the other way around. To fix it you'll have
to boot from your Linux emergency floppy or CD and fix the boot loader,
likely lilo or grub.
