Yes, you can dual boot XP and Linux with no problem. 
You will have a menu to choose which to boot, but you can 
set either one to be the default which will boot automatically 
(after x seconds) if you fail to make a choice. 

Linux can see and use the Windows directories without any problem, 
so you can move, edit, delete files, graphics, etc. (but not run Windows 
programs, usually. Some will run with wine.) 
Windows will not be able to see or use the Linux directories
(without some special software).
