I currently have a dual boot system, and am preparing for
install of XP as a third option, it will be going on it's
own partition, not drive C.Drive H, I believe
My question is this, should the XP partition be primary
or will it accept the other option (my mind just went
blank on what that other option is).
it's already formatted as NTFS, just not primary.
 
You can install Windows XP on either a primary or a logical partition.
