creating a bootable WinXP USB in Fedora

i'm wanting to install Windows XP on my Fedora 10 PC so they run in dual boot mode... the reason i want to use USB is because:

1. I have a 4GB USB Stick
2. I have an ISO slipstreamed with SP3 and other necessary softwares (Avast/7zip/Winamp etc...) [hate the update downloads)

Now my main concern is: I know windows will alter the mbr so i'm wondering if its difficult to reset the mbr to be handled by Fedora bootloader?

Or what are the risks on installing Windows XP into a Drive with Fedora already in it... i have unused space on the drive which windows will slot into

You should be fine just run the install media for F10 in rescue mode and reinstall grub to the MBR and remember XP prefers being 1st on the disk there a few post on how to get around that never having done it i don't remember the specifics.

Enjoy the Choice
