1. Make a backup of important data
2. Install XP, if it is not there, if it is already there, then ok
3. During installation, partition so as not to affect drive D (if you install ubuntu, you can select the "install Linux as a second system" mode, 4. If Linux is complex, for example gentoo
, then configure grub so that the second OS can be seen at boot, its setup and configuration depends on the distribution , then you will need to google grub% linuxname%, its manual configuration is only in gentoo, archlinux, everything seems to be installed automatically everywhere and it configures itself without problems.Here is

I would advise in addition to install XP first and then linux. The fact is that Linux is able to determine which operating systems are and adds their loading to grub, while windows (up to 7k, just didn’t even set it higher) does not do this and you will have to restore grub first and then add win to it. As butteff advised above, it is better to break the screw into logical screws and put them on them, when installing, just look carefully which section you choose,
