Well, I'm sure that XP doesn't leave anything behind that would cause it to fail to install.

In general, Windows multi-booting wants the oldest O/S versions to be installed first, followed by the later ones. However, when you installed XP over the boot drive, you probably killed off the BOOT.INI file, as well as a few others.

Have you tried booting from the 2K CD and running a FIXBOOT from the recovery console?
