You can configure vmware server to use the physical partitions on the disk.
You don't need to  install a copy of either OS in a vm. Just install the
Windows version on XP, reboot into Linux and install the Linux version. Now
point the Linux version to your XP partition, and point the XP version to
your Linux partition(s) and presto...you can "dual boot" without the boot
part.
