Boot from your Windows XP CD, and when you are asked where you want the new OS to be installed, choose the partition -> done.
During Startup, you will be asked which OS you want to start.
But why install XP twice?

I have installed xp in DOS format and i have problems installing some software. I need to convert that part to NTFS, to do that, that part of hdd should not be working. If I install xp on other part then I will be able to that.
When I insert the Xp cd for installation it only shows one partition, the one on which the xp is already installed on. Is there any other way that I can see all partitions?
