You can still dual boot, but what you must understand is that a partition which will load an OS must be a primary drive. There is the option when installing XP to leave the file system intact... i don't recommend it, but it you have no place to put the files on the primary partition. You could always resize them to move the files around.
*Where did you get your computer? All partitions meant for data files/storage should be contained in an extended partition, especially since there is a limit of 4 primary partitions (on a single drive) under XP, and i assume Vista.
