Yes...
XP can be installed on any partition (not on an external USB drive)

but no matter where it's installed...the boot files...by default
will end up on the active primary.
That's true of all versions of Windows from win95 and up

Installing XP after Vista is a recipe for disaster
though a third party boot manager should be able to handle it
or a Vista repair might do the trick
